Help Found Dead At Gurugram Employer's Home: Family, Local Maids Say Murder

The 17-year-old girl was found dead on Monday at the house in Sector 46, just four days after she started working as a domestic help there.

A day after a house help was found dead in Sector 46 here, her relatives and local maids protested outside her employer's house, created a ruckus at a police station alleging an "unfair probe", and briefly blocked traffic, following which over 100 of them were charged with police cases. Police said some protesters were also detained and later let go with a warning.

The 17-year-old girl was found dead on Monday at the house in Sector 46, just four days after she started working as a domestic help there, with police suspecting it to be a case of suicide, though no suicide note was found.

Irate family members and maids working in the locality alleged on Tuesday that she was murdered. Her aunt Mamata said the minor girl started working in the house from November 10 as a full-time help. She said they received information about her death on Monday afternoon.

"When we reached the spot along with other relatives, her body was kept on the floor. There was a noose around her neck. She was murdered and police are not taking fair action," she said.
