Islamabad: Islamabad’s district and sessions court made a crucial decision in the case of 14-year-old housemaid Rizwana, who was allegedly assaulted by Somia Asim, the wife of a civil judge. The court dismissed Somia’s interim bail and ordered her immediate arrest, amidst the to public outcry demanding justice for the young victim.
