The irony of the case is that both the employers of the girl from Jharkhand are woman, with the main accused Vandana Dhir (50) being the Country Communications Director of Alstom India and South Asia.
Delhi government took a strong note of the case saying that her case will be heard by a fast-track court to ensure that she gets justice.
Calling the incident "horrible and barbaric," Minister of Women and Child Development department Kiran Walia said the government will bear the medical expenses of the victim.
Dhir and her 85-year-old mother allegedly beat her up regularly and kept her naked or in minimal cloths so that she does not runaway.
The girl reportedly told police that she had been working with her employers for the past one year and they used to regularly hit her with sticks, kicked her, punched her and inflicted injuries with a knife like object.
The mother-daughter duo has a pack of five domestic dogs. The girl also claimed that she was intimidated through these canines.
Dr B D Athani, Medical Superintendent of Safdarjung said, "She has got cut marks on her scalp and bruises on her face. She is admitted in the emergency and her condition is stable."
Dhir, who was arrested early morning by Delhi police after a case of assault and illegally confining the girl was registered against her, was today remanded to police custody till tomorrow by a Delhi court.
