Kasargod: A man has been arrested by the Kumbla police for allegedly keeping a seven-year-old girl as domestic help and even physically harassing the girl.
The arrested is M S M Mohommed (48), resident of Arikkadi Kote Road here.
The victim hailing from Periya is a student of Class II.
The victim’s mother is a domestic maid at Mohommed’s home and since the lady had to return to her native home at Periya, she left the little girl as a substitute at Mohommed’s home. It is then that Mohommed harassed the girl to the extent that the seven-year-old escaped from the house.
While the local resorted to inquiring the girl, she revealed that not only did Mohommed and his family made her work but also cut her hair and tortured her.
Childline has been intimated about the case.
