New Delhi:A woman pilot and her husband who is also an airline staff were detained by the Delhi police for allegedly torturing their domestic help, a 10-year-old girl, in Dwarka area of the national capital, on Wednesday, officials said. Before the police arrived, a group came knocking at the couple's doorstep seeking to know why the couple behaved in an inhuman manner with a child and roughed up the couple.
A video which trickled out in social media showed the couple trying to wriggle out of the situation by apologising to the group. The woman pilot was seen guarding her husband from the group for a few seconds before she was dragged to the street and was given a sound thrashing. Her husband who tried to intervene too faced the ire of the irate mob.
In the video, the couple was seen being shoved by the crowd and they were also seen raining blows on the duo. The efforts by the couple to pacify the attackers did not fructify until both of them received a sound thrashing. After attacking the couple, the mob also alerted the police for seeking action against the couple.
