Ludhiana | Sunday | 16th December, 2018

Summary:

Col Neel Sachar (retd) and his wife brought the girl home and called up Punjabi University lecturer Sumaer Sira, who immediately informed the DCWC about the young girl.The CWC on Friday got the medical examination of the girl conducted and recommended registration of the criminal case against Rupanksha, wife of Kanav Bansal, for burning the knuckles of the girls with an electric iron and pressing her ear between hot plates of hair straightener. PATIALA: A day after the District Chief Welfare Committee (DCWC) recommended revision of a criminal case against the 'captors' of a 10-year-old girl, who was forced to work as a domestic help and was physically and mentally tortured for the last two-and-a-half years, the district police registered a case but inadvertently named the rescuer lecturer of Punjabi University as the accused in the FIR, a folly that was later corrected.The girl was spotted by an old couple moving around on the road with a handbag late on Wednesday..
