Ghaziabad: A bank manager and a Delhi-based
placement agency owner have been arrested in connection with
the alleged suicide of an 18-year-old domestic help, police
said.
Mohit Aggarwal, manager at a multi-national bank, was
yesterday arrested by Indira Puram Police for allegedly
keeping his domestic help Lipi in captivity, which forced her
to end her life, police said.
Munna Lal, whose agency had placed her in Aggarwal's
house, has also been arrested in this connection, they said.
Lipi, who hailed from Assam, allegedly committed suicide
on Monday after jumping off the fifth floor of Aggarwal's
house in Indira Puram, station house officer Rajesh Dwivedi

The girl was employed by Aggarwal to look after his
five-year-old son. However, after two days, Lipi wanted to
leave the place but was held captive in the house. Later, she
jumped off a window of the house and allegedly committed
suicide, they said.
