This fact happened at the beginning of the month in Odisha, East India, and received a lot of attention on the news site NDTV.com. In the written complaint, the woman also said that the officer’s wife verbally accused her of not doing her job properly.

The policeman denied the allegations, but was transferred from the scene

The policeman denied the accusations of the housekeeper to the local press and said that the couple’s employee would be worried about family problems. In this regard, the officer was transferred to another state police department. Director General of the Indian National Guard Sudhansu Sarangi said the allegations would be verified.

In her complaint, the woman even said that on August 4 this year she was dragged out of her house and attacked by the wife of a police officer because she could not wash her clothes.

Suffering from humiliation and alleged torture, the victim even handed over a letter saying he would throw himself in front of a moving train. According to the local press, she had such an accident on the same day.

When she was standing next to the railroad tracks, a train approached and she fell due to the vibration of the tracks. One of the wheels of the locomotive hit a woman, who lost both legs in the process.

Despite serious injuries, the victim survived and is currently being treated at a private hospital in Cuttack, also in East India. According to the local press, the housekeeper is a widow and lived with two daughters.

One of her family members denied the officer’s claims that family problems were the reason for the woman’s complaints against the owners of the house where she worked.

According to the portal NDTV.com, the Indian government will cover the medical expenses. “We will talk to her as soon as she is released from the hospital. Subsequently, appropriate measures will be taken, ”said the law enforcement agencies investigating the case.
