House Help Accuses Army Major And Wife Of Brutal Abuse And Forcing Her To Eat From Dustbin
An Army officer and his wife in Assam have been arrested on charges of allegedly torturing their underage house help, resulting in severe injuries, including broken teeth and burn marks. The girl’s medical report confirms a fractured nose and deep tongue cuts, and she endured this alleged abuse for a harrowing six months.
The victim’s account of her ordeal is heartbreaking, describing confinement, physical abuse, and even being forced to consume her own blood. While the accused couple claims her injuries were from a fall down the stairs, evidence suggests otherwise.
Authorities have filed a case under the strict POCSO and SC/ST laws, along with additional charges of assault, unlawful labor, and slavery. The accused, a Major in the Indian Army, hired the girl for babysitting and allegedly subjected her to these horrific acts during their stay in Palampur, Himachal Pradesh.
The girl’s bravery in sharing her ordeal with her family led to a prompt police complaint and their subsequent arrest. Her mother’s description of her injuries paints a devastating picture of her suffering.
