HYDERABAD, Sept 22: The Qasimabad investigation police on Tuesday submitted a charge-sheet against seven women, who had escaped from the Darul Aman on July 31, in the court of the civil judge and judicial magistrate-I, Shamsuddin Junejo.

The women are on bail and are living in a shelter house, Panah, in Karachi since their sureties were submitted by the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan's Special Task Force for Sindh.
Two of them had alleged that they had been subjected to criminal assault and they were pregnant. However, medical examinations of the women, conducted at the Hyderabad Civil Hospital, showed that they were not pregnant.
