A woman living in the upscale DLF Camellias society in Gurugram's Sector 42 has been booked for allegedly assaulting her domestic help, after a 90-second video of the incident surfaced on social media. Police registered the FIR under Section 115 (voluntarily causing hurt) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at Sushant Lok police station on Sunday night, acting on their own accord as neither the victim nor a complainant has come forward. According to Hindustan Times, the incident likely took place in the last week of July. A neighbour recorded the video from their apartment window, showing the employer slapping and pulling the helper's hair. Police say the employer and her husband, a liquor businessman, sent the helper back to her hometown in Nepal after learning the video was public. They also allegedly made her sign documents stating she wanted legal action against the person who circulated the video, not against the employer.
