Bangalore:
A 22-year-old domestic maid has booked a case against Satya Prabha, the wife of Bangalore-based businessman and chairman of Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanam DK Audikeshavulu Naidu for allegedly abusing and harassing her.
Geetha Menon, an activist of Stree Jagruti Samiti, filed a complaint on behalf of the maid, Aruna with Sadashivanagar police. The complaint stated that Prabha had been harassing Aruna for petty issues.
Aruna had requested Stree Jagruti Samiti to provide protection to her. She joined as the maid of Naidu's house eight months ago. Aruna told the Samiti that he had entered into oral agreement agreeing to pay `5,000 a month as salary.
However, Prabha, who picked up quarrels with Aruna, did not pay the salary according to the agreement. Menon stated to the police that Prabha was paying only `2,500 to Aruna.
Inspector Panduranga of the Sadashivanagar police station said that a notice had been issued to Prabha. Action would be taken only after a detained probe into the allegations levelled by the maid.
