Lahore : A woman in Pakistan’s Punjab province has chopped off a 13-year-old boy’s right hand with a fodder cutting machine for allegedly demanding salary.
Irfan was employed at Shafqat Bibi’s house in Safdarabad at a salary of Rs 3,000, his mother Jannat Bibi told the police.
“Last week Shafqat Bibi got furious with Irfan when he demanded salary. She cut his right hand with a fodder cutting machine to teach him a lesson that he demands salary but doesn’t complete his job of feeding the cattle,” she said.
The incident took place in Sheikhupura village, some 50km from Lahore.
He was shifted to a local hospital where his condition is stated to be critical, his mother said.
