Last Monday, a queer case of a maid having sexually damaged herself came to light. She had been working as a house-maid with a British expat family at Odyssey - II in Hiranandani Gardens and had just joined work sometime back. The expat couple have four children and have been living for quite some time in the building.
The maid, Ruksana (name changed), 18 years old was found profusely bleeding from her genitals by the lady of the house on Monday night. The expat's wife panicked and called husband home narrating the saga. They rushed her to Hiranandani Hospital where on questioning by the doctors she told that she has been raped by unknown persons after drugging her.
The doctors at the local hospital advised the expat that since it is a medico-legal case the police has to be informed. The expat then got the police and she was taken to treatment to Rajawadi Hospital (a govt hospital in Ghatkopar). She is still in the hospital undergoing treatment.
While speaking to the senior PI Jhadav of Powai Police he told that, “In her first statement to the police she told us that four men picked her outside the building and bundled her in an auto to Andheri. Where they took turns and then dropped her back near the Odyssey-II.”
The police found anomaly in her statement when she could not elaborate about the rapist's description and grilled her again. This time she came out with another statement to the police. She told the police, “I happened to see the expat couple intimate in the bed and got excited. I got hold of a pipe-like kid's toy and vigorously inserted in and out to satisfy myself and thus damaged my private part.”
This newspaper spoke to the secretary of Odyssey - II who told us, “The expat family has been living her for quite some time, the expat lady is a religious one and they have four children. In fact the couple themselves rushed the maid to the hospital seeing her condition and also alerted the police. A British embassy official is helping them deal with the matter. I have heard lot of rumours of the maid being raped, but it holds no ground. The maid also told the police that the expat family helped save her life. Well, the police will have to investigate the matter for the truth to come out.”
This reporter also met Shabana, elder sister of the maid in Sangharsh Nagar, Chandivili who maintained there is no foul play. She could not explain what exactly she did to herself but she did something and damaged herself. The family is yet to understand what happened to their daughter and are in a state of shock to give any statement that may arouse any foul play.
We also spoke to some maids who have been terrified by the rumours and the plight of the girl. On talking to them the account that they have is not from the victim but hearsay.
