"They make me bathe old people. When I refused to work, Naomi and her son locked me in a room without power for three months. Ever since I went to the old age home, Naomi, her son and her mother beat me up and abused me. Naomi's son tortured me and two others by dragging us on the staircase," the victim says.

The victim also said when authorities conducted a surprise check at the home, the manager hid her. Uppal inspector Y Narasimha Reddy said the victim escaped on Monday. No arrests have been made yet.
