A civil court in the federal capital on Friday indicted SoumiaAsim, the wife of a civil judge, in the underage housemaid Rizwana torture case.
Rizwana remained at Lahore General Hospital for more than four months and underwent several surgeries to heal her wounds. She was discharged from the hospital on December 5, last year.
The hearing of the Rizwana torture case was conducted by Civil Judge UmerShabbir, in which SoumiaAsim appeared along with her mother.
In today’s hearing, Soumia was indicted in the court, while the suspect refused to accept the charges against her in the case.
Later, the court after summoning witnesses in the case adjourned the hearing of the case until March 20.
