JARANWALA: A husband and wife, Shahbaz and Nadia Shahbaz, have arrested for allegedly torturing 16-year-old domestic worker, Mah Rukh Fatima, in Faisalabad.

Police arrest the couple, and a case has been registered against them.

According to the police report, Sana, a resident of Jaranwala, stated in the FIR registered at the Women Police Station that she had employed her 16-year-old daughter, Mah Rukh Fatima, as a domestic helper at the house of Shahbaz on Susan Road. During this period, Nadia Shahbaz, along with her mother-in-law and her husband Shahbaz, brutally tortured her daughter and beat her with a viper (pipe/stick), causing one of her teeth to break.

On the night of September 29 at around 11 PM, Shahbaz called and told her mother to come and take her daughter back. When she went in the morning to pick up her daughter, there were visible torture marks on her body. When she asked Shahbaz and his wife Nadia Shahbaz about it, they lost their temper and allegedly accused her daughter of theft and told them to leave the house, also issuing threats to kill them.
