The woman claimed that the environment was not conducive for work and she was visibly disturbed. The next day, Raza’s driver took her to his office located on the fourth floor of a building. She gave an interview after which her National Identity Card (NIC) was confiscated.
In the evening, Raza’s wife made the bizarre t and told her to hand over the child to them and she will be handsomely compensated. The woman was shocked and refused to work for them.
The following day, the woman escaped with her son, however, Rafaqat and Humayun called her on numerous occasions. On October 17, she was called to Raheem Plaza where both made her sit in a car and molested her.
