Domestic helps are considered saviors, right? And rightly as they should be because they do all the work we don’t find the time for. The mere thought of disrespecting them because they do YOUR household work should not even cross your mind. Even though child labour is criminalised, there are people who hire minors as domestic helps because they can exploit them by paying them less and getting more work done. One satanic couple in Gurgaon has crossed all limits of humanity as beat their 14-year-old domestic help who was a girl. She has been admitted to the hospital with multiple injuries on her face, hands and feet. The woman who had hired the minor would hit her with a pair of hot tongs.
As per reports, the police have informed that the 14-year-old girl hails from Jharkhand, after she was rescued by the one-stop centre in Gurgaon. The police say that she was tortured for five months by Manish Kahtter and Kamaljeet Kaur before she was rescued from that hellhole. In her statement to the police, the minor girl has said that the couple used ropes, sticks and hot iron tongs. She also said that Manish and Kamaljeet would make small cuts using blades on her arms and lips.
This cruel couple would also make the minor remove her clothes while she was washing their clothes and doing the household chores. They also made her sleep on the floor, and would only give her a small bowl of rice to eat at night. Manish and Kamaljeet had also tried to strangulate her, and threatened to kill her, the minor said. The doctors at the hospital also have said that the girl has deeply cut wounds on her body.
Manish Khatter who works as a deputy manager at Max Life Insurance has been sacked from his job, and so is Kamaljeet who used to work at a PR firm. They have also been arrested by the police with Manish sent on remand for two days and Kamaljeet to judicial custody.

Honestly, it is beyond imagination how one can even think of inflicting on a minor girl who is merely doing your work for a meagre pay. Reports also claim that the couple would let the girl even talk to her parents on the phone. This kind of cruelty needs to be punished severely because there is no excuse for what Manish and Kamaljeet did except blame their sick mentality.
