The girl was rescued from a house in Rohini by an organization working for the welfare of people from northeast states.

Chandra said for six days she was beaten up and molested by Montu.
“Later, she was sent to work as domestic help in a house in Rohini. There she was again subjected to ill-treatment by her employer, Sandeep Kumar, for eight months,” Chandra said.
Chandra claimed that Delhi police are refusing to register a complaint in the matter.
When contacted, Rohini police denied having any information on the incident.
