As per the text of the First Information Report (FIR), the complainant had sent his 14-year-old daughter to work as a domestic help on a Rs10,000 monthly salary, with the reference of an acquaintance named Chaudhry Mukhtar, seven months ago.
He alleged that his daughter was subjected to severe torture by the judge’s wife, and there were torture marks all over the child’s body.
Upon examining her condition, the parents found several injuries on the girl’s entire body, with serious wounds on the head, which were “infested with maggots”.
The major injuries described by the complainant include swelling on lips and eyes, broken teeth, and ribs and strangling marks on the neck.
Meanwhile, Civil Judge Hafeez, when asked about torturing his maid, brushed aside the accusations, saying that the wounds on the girl’s body were a result of eating soil from the planters kept in his house.
