The Worli police in Mumbai have arrested a 23-year-old cook for allegedly assaulting and raping a 20-year-old domestic help in a luxury high-rise apartment while their employer — a prominent businesswoman — was abroad for work. Police said the accused also filmed the act and threatened to circulate the video if the survivor spoke about it.

According to the FIR, the incident took place last week in a residential tower in Worli. The survivor works as a house help at the residence of a well-known business couple who had recently travelled abroad for professional commitments. During their absence, only the maid and the cook were in the house.
