Rs 2.5 lakh ‘settlement’, but nightmares persist — how ‘tortured’ Assam worker
A year ago, a 23-year-old domestic worker from Assam's Mangaldoi, employed at the home of a senior police officer in Haryana, alleged that she was bound with ropes, had her hair chopped off, and was left without food for several days. Her story made national headlines and sparked outrage. Recently, her family told The Print that she had "moved on," accepted a settlement of Rs 2.5 lakh to withdraw the case, and is now married and settled in Delhi. Despite this, she still experiences headaches and nightmares, according to her mother.
