LAHORE: Ameen Kanju, son of former federal minister Siddiq Kanju, was taken into custody from the premises of the Supreme Court’s Lahore Registry on Tuesday on the directives of Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar for allegedly torturing two female domestic workers.
Earlier, an apex court bench, headed by Nisar, took up a case pertaining to violence inflicted on two girls by their employer.
The victim girls’ parents – Rafique and her spouse Shehnaz – alleged before the bench that Ameen Kanjo accused their daughters Yasmeen and Saima of theft and then subjected them to physical torture.
The top judge directed the police to arrest Kanjo from the court premises and initiate legal action against him in accordance with the law.
