Ranchi: An 18-year-old girl employed as a domestic help at the home of a cloth merchant in Indrapuri, under the jurisdiction of Sukhedeonagar police station, has reportedly fled with clothes and household items around 2 AM nearly a week ago. The girl, identified as Rekha Kumari from Ghaghra in Gumla district, is believed to have been accompanied by her alleged boyfriend during the incident.
The matter came to light when CCTV footage captured the duo leaving the premises with several items. Upon contacting Rekha’s family, the house owner was informed that she had returned home—but notably, without any of the missing belongings. This has led to suspicion that her family might also be involved.
The incident has raised concerns among local residents and serves as a warning to others. Authorities and community leaders have advised homeowners to conduct thorough identity verification, confirm permanent addresses, and seek police clearance before employing domestic workers to avoid similar cases.
