Nine-year-old girl rescued

Staff Reporter

BANGALORE: A child helpline team has rescued a nine-year-old girl working as a domestic help from a house in Basavanagudi. A complaint has been registered against the house owner.

The Association for Promoting Social Action (APSA), one of the three child helplines in the city, received a call on Sunday to rescue Nandini, who was working in the house of Shakeel, a manager in private transport company.

When APSA volunteers went to the house, they found Nandini with injuries and burns. She was taken to the hospital at Government Boy's Home.

The doctor certified that the girl had suffered multiple aberrations over the chest and abdomen. The doctor found scars made by heated knife. "We immediately took the girl to Basavanagudi police station. But the police refused to register a case against Shakeel," Sheela Devaraj of APSA said. It was on Monday that the police registered the complaint. Nandini was produced before the Child Welfare Committee.
