In a shocking case, a 13-year-old girl working as a house help in Gurugram was subjected to unimaginable brutality, including being stripped, beaten with a hammer and iron rod, and having her mouth taped. The horrifying incident came to light through a police complaint filed by the girl’s mother.
The young victim, employed in a house in Gurugram’s Sector 57, was allegedly mistreated by a woman and her two sons. Reports indicate that the girl was not only physically abused but also faced starvation and was given very little to eat. Disturbingly, she was reportedly stripped and filmed by the sons, who threatened to force her into a brothel if she resisted their commands.

Rescuers discovered the traumatized girl locked in a room with her mouth taped. She revealed to the police that her responsibilities ranged from cooking and washing to taking care of a dog. The Gurugram family allegedly escalated the abuse by pouring acid on her hands, coupled with threats of grave consequences if she disclosed the ordeal.
The girl’s mother, in the police complaint, disclosed that she had been kept away from her daughter for the past four months, with the family neglecting to pay her salary for an extended period. The rescue operation was facilitated by an Indian Air Force (IAF) officer, in front of whom the distressed girl sought help.
All three accused individuals, including the woman and her sons, now face charges under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and the Juvenile Justice Act. The case highlights the urgent need for safeguarding vulnerable individuals and ensuring stringent measures against those responsible for such heinous crimes.
