A 45-year-old maid has exposed the horrific abuse dealt out to her by an Ulhasnagar family, alleging that she was repeatedly raped by the men of the house, while the women threatened her at knife-point to keep mum.
The Vitthalwadi police have registered a case against the family of six, and arrested one of the men yesterday.
Satish More has been arrested
The accused men are all lawyers. “She was working at the family’s Ulhasnagar home, in which three men lived with their sister, mother and brother-in-law. They provided her with groceries and offered money for her ailing brother,” a cop said.
“On September 19, the maid caught the sister in a compromising position with a family friend. But when she informed their mother, that woman accused her of maligning the family name. Enraged, the three brothers took her to the bedroom and raped her. The maid said the fourth brother then took her home, but finding her alone in the house, he too raped her,” a police official said.
“After the victim broke down in front of her brother, he convinced her to install a CCTV camera in her house. On December 18, one of the men — Satish More — visited her home and raped her again, which was captured on camera,” a police official said.
