India-born doc, wife arrested for genital mutilation in US
India-born doctor Fakhruddin Attar and his wife were arrested in the US on Friday for helping another Indian-origin doctor Jumana Nagarwala, who was arrested last week, perform genital mutilations on girls aged between six and eight. The Attars and Nagarwala are believed to be the first people charged under federal US law which criminalises female genital mutilations.
