GUJRANWALA: A 16-year-old domestic aid, Aneesa, was tortured by Gujranwala policewomen after her owners registered a complaint of theft of 20 tolas gold and Rs 0.3 million.
The family of Aneesa said that she was kept at the police station and thrashed by female personnel all night.
Aneesa, a resident of Bambanwala, was working at the house of a person called Ikram, where a robbery incident occurred last week. Owners of the house registered a case against unidentified persons, but police took Aneesa as a suspect.
After the girl was released from custody, she was taken to the CPO House by her family where they protested and chanted slogans against the relevant police station.
Aroop police, however, denied the reports, saying the girl was taken to the police station for investigation only and she was probe in the presence of the female officers.
On the other hand, Civil Lines SP Mohammad Afzal ordered a medical examination of Aneesa and investigation into the case.
