SHEIKHUPURA: The Factory Area police have arrested two people who allegedly chopped off the three fingers of their teenage servant’s hand in village Momanpura on Friday.

Nadir was employed at the farmhouse of Rafaqat Bhatti. The employer got mad at him over some issue and he with his brother Altaf Bhatti and one unidentified accomplice first thrashed the boy and later chopped off his fingers with a sharp-edge weapon. Later, he shut him in the farmhouse and started his treatment.

When boy’s condition worsened due to bleeding, the landlord dropped him near his house and fled. Police arrested Rafaqat and Altaf and were searching for their accomplice.
