Shocking details emerged on Monday when the residents in the Gulberg area of Karachi intervened and got freed two children, aged four and ten, from the shackles of their stepmother who has stripped them naked and chained them to the main gate of their house, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
The woman treated the children like they were ‘animals’ and also deliberately kept them starved.
Residents of the area took it on themselves and entered the house after receiving the disturbing information about children’s deteriorating condition.
The residents were shocked to know that the stepmother had kept the young children in chains for several days.
In a video, shot by a neighbour, the children can be seen tied with chains to the main gate of the house and looked very fragile because of starvation.
