Livonia doctor's defense denies female genital mutilation; calls it religious removal

(WJBK) - As the hearing Monday revealed disturbing new details, the judge denied bond for the local doctor charged with mutilating the genitals of little girls.
Inside a federal courtroom, 44-year-old Dr. Jumana Nargarwala, a mother of four, stood before a judge handcuffed, dressed in an orange jumpsuit and a long hijab draped down her arms and shoulders, appearing emotionless as the prosecution and defense divulged gruesome details of what allegedly went on in her Livonia clinic after hours.

It was there where the FBI says they tracked two 7 year olds in February, as they had sensitive tissue painfully removed by Nargarwala, believing many more families in Michigan and other states have also had the procedure performed but have managed to keep it secret.

The judge, believing Nargarwala is possibly both a flight risk and a danger to the community, ordered her detained without bond until further notice.
