Record sought on bail plea of doctor in maid murder case

LAHORE: An Additional District and Sessions Court Monday sought record from police on a bail application moved by a female doctor accused of killing her 14-year-old maid.

The court has directed Chuhng police to produce the case record on a post-arrest bail application moved by Dr Humaira. The police in January had arrested the doctor and her husband in connection with the death of their teenage maid who had allegedly died from their torture at their residence. The police had arrested the couple after an investigation found that Sana (14) breathed her last at their residence.

Dr Humaira and her husband Junaid allegedly tortured her but did not take her to hospital. According to police, Humaira would beat Sana.

On the day of the incident, Humaira tortured her maid with a wooden roller and went to her job without providing any treatment to her.
