An eight-year-old girl employed as a domestic help in east Delhi's Pandav Nagar area was allegedly assaulted by her employers following which she was rescued by the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW).
The minor girl, approached neighbours for help, who called up the DCW helpline.
"The girl was brought from Bihar and made to work as a domestic help. Last evening the girl was beaten mercilessly leading to swelling in her eye and several marks on her body. The girl was so traumatised that she ran to a neighbour's house crying, who informed us," a DCW official said.
"The girl has been rescued and placed in a shelter home. Police is investigating the issue and we have been told that the employers are absconding. The victim's parents have been informed about the incident and they are coming from Bihar," he added.
