Delhi | Sunday | 14th January, 2018

Summary:

The DCW chief also alleged that the doctor spat on the girl and encouraged her children to treat her the same way. The lady doctor (victim’s employer) also burnt her with a hot iron rod and threw scalding water on her, at times. The tribal girl from Jharkhand, had been working as a domestic help in the household for the past four months, after a placement agency got her the job. According to DCW chief Swati Jai Hind, who was part of the rescue team, the accused doctor had unleashed unspeakable agony on Bertha, leaving her scarred both physically and mentally. A call from a good samaritan staying next door brought members of the DCW to the doorstep of a private doctor in Model Town on Saturday..
