LAHORE: Four women, who were detained for allegedly stealing jewellery of Member of Provincial Assembly Uzma Kardar, have accused police of physical torture and stripping in the presence of the MPA during the investigation process.
The suspects, who are employees of a private housing society club, vehemently denied any wrongdoing.
The jewellery theft case was registered at the Model Town police station.
The MPA suspected that two instructors and two club employees were involved in the theft. She said in the FIR that after attending the assembly session, she had gone to the club for swimming. She stated that the jewellery was in her purse, which was kept in the club’s locker. Upon her return, she found out that jewellery worth Rs4-5 lakh had been stolen.
According to SP Model Town, four female employees of the club were detained after registration of a theft case. However, they were released after Uzma Kardar’s husband was taken into confidence on the matter. He said the club management also vouched for them and declared them innocent. He said the matter was still under investigation with the help of club’s surveillance cameras and the management’s statements.
