Gurugram:Fed up after being repeatedly molested by her employer, a domestic help injured herself while trying to escape through the kitchen window of an upscale apartment here.
The incident was reported on Thursday after the maid was admitted to the Gurugram Civil Hospital where she narrated her ordeal to the medical staff.
“We received information about the injured maid from the Principal Medical Officer of the Gurugram Civil Hospital on Thursday. Subsequently, a team from the Sector 54 police station reached the hospital and recorded her statement,” said Shamsher Singh, Assistant Commissioner of Police (Crime) and Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO) of the Gurugram Police.
As per her statement, the victim was employed as a domestic help by one Ajay Ashwani, a resident of D-41, first floor, Belaire Apartment, located in the upscale Sector 54 here. The police arrested Ashwani on Friday.
“Ashwani used to molest the victim every time she went to his flat. She had objected to this many times, but without any effect. On Thursday at around 11.30 a.m., the accused started misbehaving with her when she reported for work.
