    Gurugram couple, who reportedly tortured minor help, lose their jobs
    Gurugram couple accused of torturing, abusing minor domestic help fired from jobs

    The couple from Gurugram, arrested for allegedly torturing and sexually abusing their minor domestic help, have been fired from their respective jobs. The insurance company where the husband was employed and the public relations agency where his wife worked officially announced their sacking on social media. On Thursday, police launched a search for the Delhi-based placement agency that provided the girl to the couple.

    Why does this story matter?

    • Based on an activist's Twitter post about the girl, a joint unit of Sakhi, a one-stop crisis center, and the police rescued the minor from New Colony on Tuesday.
    • Later, an FIR was also filed by Sakhi center head Pinky Malik against the couple.
    • The Gurugram couple reportedly abused the girl for months, using blades, sticks, and hot tongs, according to PTI.

    Details on the arrested couple

    The couple, identified as 29-year-old Kamaljeet Kaur and 30-year-old Manish Khattar, is a resident of Gurugram's New Colony. Khattar is a resident of Gurugram, but his wife is reportedly a native of Ranchi in Jharkhand, per police. While Kaur is in jail, her husband is on a two-day police remand.

    FIR registered against couple under multiple IPC Sections

    At New Colony police station, an FIR was lodged against the couple under Indian Penal Code (IPC) Sections 323 (causing hurt), 342 (wrongful confinement) and under sections of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

    Here's how a Twitter post triggered the probe

    The matter came to light after an NGO based out of Gurugram contacted the police after an activist's Twitter post on the victim girl's condition went viral on social media. In the series of pictures posted by activist Deepika Narayan Bhardwaj, the girl can be seen with multiple burn marks and bruises on her arms, lips, cheeks, and forehead.

    I just met the girl. Short of words. She's shared with me unimaginable horror. Blades, sticks, hot tongue - i don't think anything was left in assaulting this child. All this for - not finishing work on time. She wasn't paid a single penny for months of work @KanoongoPriyank pic.twitter.com/gUo7DRGwUI
