DOMESTIC HELP ‘MOLESTED’ IN GURUGRAM CONDOMINIUM
GURUGRAM: A 19-year-old domestic help was arrested from The Magnolias in DLF 5 on Golf Course Road on Friday night for allegedly molesting and assaulting another help on the premises, police said.
Police said the accused was allegedly in an inebriated state when the incident took place on Thursday night. A case was registered under sections 354 A (sexual harassment), 323 (causing hurt), 506 (criminal intimidation) of IPC at the women police station at Sector 51.
Usha Kundu, assistant commissioner of police, said, “The accused worked in one of the apartments in the condominium.” He was granted bail on Saturday after being produced to city court, police said.
The 30-year-old complainant works as a domestic help in one of the apartments. On Thursday, around 9pm, when she was walking her dog, the accused allegedly approached her and said that he loved her. She told the police that she ignored him and kept walking but he caught hold of her.
“He touched me inappropriately, I got scared and shouted for help. Security guards rushed to the spot but he fled. When I reached near my tower, he suddenly appeared and started abusing me and assaulted me. I fell on the ground and shouted for help again,” the victim told police. Kundu said the victim did not know him and he was identified only after people at the condominium scanned the CCTV footage.

The two were wanted in a cheating case in which they had duped a woman from Dwarka of around ₹8 lakh after offering her the post of an operation manager in an oil and gas company in Malaysia on a monthly salary of ₹2.5 lakh.
Deputy commissioner of police (Dwarka) Anto Alphonse said the Nigerian Imasaun Henry Omorogby and friend Sheela Dey alias Priya Dass from Hyderabad were caught from outside Hyderabad airport on August 14 following information that Sheela was returning from Bangkok and she would meet Henry at the airport.
“Two laptops, seven mobile phones, five cheque books, 27 plastic cards, four forged PAN cards and as many voter identity cards along with ₹1 lakh in cash were seized from the duo,” said Alphonse.
DCP Alphonse said the arrests came following probe into a cheating case filed by Vaishnavi Balasubramanium from Delhi’s Dwarka. The complainant told police that in September last year she had received an email with a job offer in Malaysia. She responded to the email and forwarded her personal biodata and other requisite documents.
“The racketeers tricked her into depositing a total of ₹8.05 lakh in their bank account, saying the money was required for obtaining work permit, immigration clearance and for other processing fee. To win her confidence, they also sent her a fake job offer letter of the company,” said the DCP.
The woman became suspicious when in February this year she received a call from one Madhuri, who identified herself an employee of the Union ministry of finance, and demanded ₹65,000 for releasing her documents. She contacted the ministry and upon verification found that no employee called Madhuri worked there.
A case was registered on her complaint and investigations taken up. During the probe, investigators collected information about the email addresses through which the emails were sent and also of the bank account in which the money was deposited. Police found that the email address used by the account holder was tagged with one Bhaskar Reddy on a social media account.
“We also found Sheela Dey’s photograph on social media and gathered information about her through technical surveillance. We also scanned her social media account. She had updated her status as “Going [to] Bangkok” and uploaded a photograph clicked at Hyderabad airport on August 8,” said Alphonse.
Investigators collected her travel details and learnt that she would land at the airport on August 14.
“We laid a trap and caught her with her Nigerian associate,” said an investigator.
