Seema Patra, a suspended BJP leader who is accused of torturing domestic help, has been arrested. After it came to light that Seema Patra had held her domestic worker hostage in her home and tortured her, the Jharkhand BJP suspended her.
For torturing the tribal woman while she was working as a maid at her house, Seema Patra was arrested. The maid, identified as Sunita, was forced to clean the toilet with her tongue. Patra is the spouse of Maheshwar Patra, a former IAS officer.
There have been allegations that Seema Patra has harassed her domestic staff in Jharkhand, and the National Commission for Women has taken notice.
NCW chairperson Rekha Sharma said in a statement that the panel has written to the DGP of Jharkhand requesting that the accused be taken into custody if the charges are proved to be true. ‘The Commission has also written for a fair and time-bound investigation in the matter,’ Rekha Sharma had said.
