Murdered minor housemaid’s torture was recorded on cell phones

A minor housemaid, who was beaten to death in Rawalpindi, was reportedly often tortured and the incidents filmed.

Officials investigating the case said that they have managed to obtain access of Hasan Siddiqui and his wife Umme Kulsoom’s mobile phones, adding that they recovered some videos from the devices that showed the minor, Zahra bibi, being tortured.

As per reports, officials also found an image of the minor domestic worker locked up in a large birdcage, allegedly as a punishment.

Officers said that they have not gained any evidence so far which proves that the couple had recorded the videos. However, he said that they are still looking into the data obtained from the cellphones and there is a chance they could come across data which could be important for the case.

The victim’s father and the couple had an agreement for her services. An amount of Rs80,000 had been paid to Zahra’s father for her services for eight months. Further, both parties had agreed that if the victim serves for longer, her family will pay more.
