The Ghaziabad Police on Thursday recovered two women, who were kept chained at their house, and arrested a man. The victims were identified as Shamim Akhtar and her 14-year-old niece Ambar, residents of Tajpura, Ghaziabad. Police received a tip-off that Azhar Javed had detained his wife Shamim and niece since a couple of months on which police raided his house and recovered the two women.
Azhar, in police custody, told journalists that his wife was mentally ill and used to escape from his house, which forced him to chain her. Police said that the accused was changing his statements so they will go for a mental check up of both women.
