Delhi: Domestic help arrested for sedating and robbing elderly employer, daughter

The woman and her daughter told police that on September 1, the accused called a man, who she said was her brother, to give her medicines.

In her complaint, the daughter said, “She (accused) served us food around 1.30 pm and we went to sleep. After an hour or so, I heard a noise and woke up. I saw Bhuvneshwari standing with two men — one of them had came to our house. They attacked me and tied me up. My mother woke up due to the noise and was also threatened by them. They ransacked the house and took away cash and jewellery.”

RG Naik, DCP (Crime), said: “The woman managed to free themselves and called us. A team was formed to trace the accused; the placement agency was also contacted. Later, one of our informers told us the woman was planning to meet someone near Sarai Kale Khan bus stand and we arrested her. Officers recovered Rs 88,000, gold jewellery and four wristwatches from her.”

In the evening, the women were admitted to hospital as the help had mixed sedatives in their lunch, said the DCP.
