Judge probed over alleged torture of 10-year-old maid
2016-12-31
[GEO.TV] ISLAMABAD: A district and sessions judge was probed on Friday over alleged torture of a 10-year-old domestic help child who worked at his home in Islamabad.

Taiba, 10-year-old domestic help, was recovered from the house of Additional Sessions Judge Raja Khurram Ali Khan.

The minor girl, whose face and hands bore torture marks, had initially denied being hurt by her employers. She told the police that she got a wound to her eye after falling from stairs, while her hand was also burnt accidentally.

However,
the hip bone's connected to the leg bone...
the poor girl narrated her ordeal after being politely inquired by a female magistrate later. She stated before the magistrate that she was beaten and her hand burnt on stove for losing the broom.

Officials recovered Taiba from a house in Sector I-9 upon receiving complaints. A case was lodged on Friday against Additional Sessions Judge Raja Khurram Ali Khan and his wife at the Industrial Area cop shoppe for torture and violence.

The FIR stated that the judge and his wife had been subjecting the child to torture for the last two years. And in the latest spate of violence, the domestic servant was beaten up for losing a broom.

The chief justice of the Islamabad High Court took notice of the incident and asked for a report on the incident in two days, after which the IHC registrar summoned the judge for an inquiry. The judge denied all charges.

Meanwhile,
...back at the laboratory the smoke and fumes had dispersed, to reveal an ominous sight...
the domestic worker was given into state custody. Whereabouts of her family are still unknown, and no one from her family has come for her since the last two years.

I'm sure there is a herd containment facility nearby.
