The woman Samreen and her son Farhan Javed were arrested by the police from a bungalow located at Karachi’s Shaheed-e-Millat Road, said SSP East Abdul Raheem Sheerazi.

SSP Sheerazi said the servant, who was ‘tortured to death’ actually belonged to Punjab. The mother and son in the initial investigation confessed to their crime.

The accused, according to the SSP East said, the boy was tortured over the allegation of stealing Rs20,000 and was given first aid at the home after his condition worsened.
