A senior officer of the RBI in Kolkata and his wife has been taken into custody by the police on charges of torturing their 15-year old maid servant in their house. The girl was not given any food for two days and was severely beaten up – the TV visuals showed the swollen blood congested face and it was a pathetic sight. In desperation, she managed to climb down the drain pipe and narrate her miseries to the caretaker of the building who took her to the hospital from where the police came and arrested the couple. They can be booked under the laws because the girl had been in their employment for the last 5 years which puts her age at 10 years at the time of employment – that is totally illegal.
