Gurugram: A case of exploitation of domestic help was reported from Gurugram's Sector-23 on Monday, with a woman claiming she was thrashed by the daughter-in-law of the owner of a paying guest (PG) accommodation where she was working.

On December 22, Sunita was reportedly beaten up by over differences in opinion with the accused woman.

The victim claimed she was beaten up for refusing to provide certain services that she was not being paid for.

The victim's ordeal, however, did not end there. After beating beaten up, Sunita was locked up inside the kitchen at the PG accommodation.

Fortunately, she was able to contact police through the helpline number, which eventually led to her rescue.

The entire incident was captured in CCTV cameras.

Having sustained injuries on her legs, hands and head, Sunita is currently undergoing treatment at a hospital.

Sources further claimed that despite the victim's wishes to pursue a case against her tormentor, cops are compelling her to reach a compromise and not lodge a complaint.
