KASUR: Pattoki police arrested a man for detaining his mother and keeping her in chains at village Bahrwal on Thursday.

The 50-year-old woman was released from captivity after about three years. According to police, Muhammad Sajid had chained his mother, Seema Bibi, over a domestic issue after snatching cash and other valuables from her.

Following information, Pattoki police raided the house of Muhammad Sajid and found 50-year-old Seema tied to a charpoy with chains in a small room of the house. She was in bad physical condition due to malnutrition and was shifted to the Tehsil Headquarters Hospital Pattoki for medical aid. Police said Seema would be shifted to Darul Aman later on.

Police arrested Sajid who told police that he, with the help of his maternal uncle, had kept his mother in captivity as she was mentally challenged.
