A 10-year-old girl survived in Maharashtra's Nagpur, after being locked inside a bathroom for five days, said police on Friday.
She had several burn injuries on her body, including private parts.
According to DCP Nagpur Police Vijaykant Sagar, the couple living in the house in Atharva Nagri on Besa-Pipla Road had brought the girl for work. They locked the girl in the bathroom and left, leaving some bread packets for her to eat.

The employees then informed the neighbours, after which they broke the lock and rescued the girl.
