MYSORE: Child Welfare Committee (CWC), a quasi judicial body, on Friday slapped a fine of Rs 30,000 on the employers of a 14-year-old girl who was rescued on Thursday.
Razaq, 72, a retired official, and Saheer, 65, residents of Udayagiri, have been directed to do community service at the state home for girls in order to discipline them, for five days. CWC member M L Parashuram said the couple has also been asked to take moral science classes to some six dozen inmates of the girls' home on Narasimharaja Boulevard. The couple appeared before the committee on Friday and paid the fine, of which Rs 25,000 will be kept in the girl's bank account. Razaq has also agreed to look after her educational expenses till she turns a major.
Parashuram said their investigation has revealed that the girl has been ill-treated by the couple and that she has suffered injuries. "Medical examination has confirmed this," the member said, adding that the girl was allegedly sold to the couple for Rs 10,000 two years ago.
The girl and her mother Nazma are ready to reunite with each other. As Nazma is living with another man after her husband's death, CWC reserved its decision. However, the girl is in CWC custody.
