Domestic help runs away after one night; locks family inside house. Cops say 'fake' agencies duping customers is a growing trend
If you thought hiring a domestic help from a 'registered' placement agency was safe, think again.
Thirty-year-old Dharmendra Singh paid for a maid from one such agency, but the girl not only ran away after the first night at his home, she also locked him and his family inside their house before doing so. The agency,
which had provided a 'fake' registration number, cannot be traced. And Singh has lost the commission of around Rs 10,000 that he paid the agency.
Worse, cops say this is a growing trend.
