GUJRANWALA: The sessions court on Saturday took notice of torture of a minor maid by her employers in Garjakh locality and issued orders for registration of a case against them and arrest of the victim’s parents.
Reports said Muafia, 7, was serving as a maid in the house of Sheikh Saleem where his wife, Ayesha, allegedly tortured her and injured her over a minor issue.
