Punjab Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi paid a visit to the Lahore General Hospital (LGH) to see torture victim maid Rizwana.
The teen torture victim is still in critical condition, he said while talking to the media.
No human can do such violence, he said, adding that the prime minister, Shehbaz Sharif, has been briefed about the condition of the brutality victim.
Rizwana's mother has made an appeal for justice, he said, adding that the culprit will be brought to book.
In a media briefing earlier, the Principal of Post Graduate Medical Institute Prof Dr Muhammad Alfred said the condition of Rizwana is improving but she has not come out of the critical phase.
He praised the team of medics looking after her, saying their untiring efforts are bearing fruit.
According to him, Rizwana asked for food and said she wanted to go home yesterday. The psychological condition is also fine, he said.
Flanked by the other team members, he said right arm surgery will be possible after the infection is controlled but due to infection in the lungs, breathing is sometimes difficult which sometimes makes the situation alarming.
Moreover, the doctor said the infection in Rizwana's blood, and her body organs were affected and after the infection is controlled, surgery on the right arm will be possible.
There are problems with internal organs like lungs and heart, he said adding that doctors have done bronchoscopy of the injured girl twice and cannot do any more bronchoscopy.
She is also being given blood and if the process of improvement in health continues for three to four days, she will enter the recovery phase, he added.
Ten days ago, the victim was brought to LGH from Sargodha. She was subjected to brutality allegedly by the wife of a civil judge in Islamabad. The accused is on bail.
