The 16-year-old worked at the apartment for the last 10 years.
An unidentified person called DCW chairperson Swati Maliwal and informed about the minor following which she immediately sent a team which along with the Delhi Police rescued the girl from the flat last evening, a DCW statement said.
The girl informed the commission that she was not even paid once in these 10 years and was not even allowed to meet her family in all these years.
The girl said she had come to Delhi with a relative and since then she has been working in the same house.
The girl has been sent to a shelter home. Today the Delhi police team and the commission took her to the Child Welfare Committee to record her statement.
Maliwal insisted that an FIR be lodged against both the placement agency and the employers.
