Lokkhi abuse: Haryana governor takes note
Almost two weeks after a team from theNational Commission for Women (NCW) and an NGO rescued teenaged domestic help who was brutally beaten up by her employers in their Gurgaon residence, Haryana Governor A R Kidwai on Friday took the issue forward. Kidwai asked the NCW to compile various cases of women and child trafficking and domestic labour in Haryana.
He asked the Commission to submit the report by Monday.
Kidwai took the step after representatives from the NCW and the NGO (Shakti Vahini) met the Haryana governor at Haryana Bhawan in the Capital today. At the meeting they discussed developments in the case of the domestic help Lokkhi. The girl’s employers, Devokjyoti and Paromita Das, were arrested on November 8 and charged with battering the teenager. They were later released on bail. source
