2nd doctor, wife arrested in genital mutilation case

The local angle and additional details on this story from yesterday.
[DETROITNEWS] Federal agents placed in durance vile
Into the paddy wagon wit' yez!
 a second doctor and his wife Friday in a widening conspiracy involving female genital mutilation and members of a Moslem sect.

Dr. Fakhruddin Attar is accused of letting Dr. Jumana Nagarwala perform mutilations at his Burhani Medical Clinic on Farmington Road. His wife, office manager Farida Attar, also was arrested and is accused of helping Nagarwala perform the mutilations, according to a 14-page complaint unsealed Friday in federal court.

The arrests are the latest development in the nation’s first female genital mutilation case, which is providing insight into a small, insular Moslem community in Metro bankrupt, increasingly impoverished, reliably Democrat, Detroit
... ruled by Democrats since 1962. A city whose Golden Age included the Purple Gang...
 and an illegal procedure performed on maidens.

The complaint solves a mystery stemming from the case by pinpointing where Nagarwala allegedly mutilated two 7-year-old girls from Minnesota earlier this year. The complaint also describes a conspiracy involving at least Nagarwala, Attar and his wife -- all three are members of the Dawoodi Bohra religious community based locally out of a Farmington Hills mosque.
Are they providing this service only to young girls of their sect, or to anyone interested?

 until a detention hearing Wednesday. Both were dressed in the distinctive attire of Dawoodi Bohra members -- he wore a white cap with gold trim, while his wife wore a long teal dress and head covering with pink fringe.

"Dr. Attar is not aware of any crimes committed at his clinic," defense lawyer Mary Chartier told news hounds outside court. "This is frightening for them and terrifying."
The poor dears. Running headlong into cultural differences that cause one's neighbours to look at one with disgust as the police cart one off to prison can be so upsetting, especially when one has been hiding it from general view for exactly that reason.
She criticized the government for waiting until Friday to arrest the doctor.
"It’s classic gamesmanship by the government, knowing they would spend the weekend in jug," she said. "I’m not surprised the government would pull that stunt."

Gina Balaya, the U.S. Attorney’s Office spokeswoman, said prosecutors were prepared to hold a detention hearing Friday, during which U.S. Magistrate Judge David Grand could have decided whether to release the couple on bond.

"As reflected in open court, it was at the request of the defense that the hearing be set for Wednesday," Balaya told The News.
