A temporary house help brutally attacked an elderly woman and her visiting relative with a deadly weapon on his first day at work before fleeing the scene in Andheri West. The injured women, identified as Shobha Rekhari and Veena Bhatt, were rushed to a hospital for treatment. The Amboli police have registered an FIR against the absconding house help and launched a search operation.

The accused has been identified as Ajay Mukhiya, a resident of Shastri Nagar in Andheri West. The complainant, 74-year-old Rekhari, lives in Andheri and had a relative visiting her on Tuesday. As her regular house help was unavailable, she hired temporary help for the day.
