LAHORE: A 20-year-old housemaid was tortured and kept into illegal captivity for two days by house owners in Lahore over accusation of stealing a mobile phone, ARY News reported on Saturday.
Relatives of the maid alleged that the house owners have tortured her and filmed their cruel actions by calling it an interrogation. They also sent the ‘interrogation’ video to the relatives of the housemaid besides keeping the 20-year-old girl in detention inside their home for two days.
