A former Faisalabad nazim has been arrested on charges of beating his 13-year-old domestic worker with a stick for breaking plates while washing them.
The Batala Colony police registered an FIR against Usman Manjh and his wife Asma Usman for torturing their child maid.
The child ran away from their house in Peoples Colony on January 24 morning after her employers beat her with a stick the night before. She was then taken into custody by the Child Protection Bureau.
