New Delhi: Acquitting a rape accused, a Delhi court has recommended a regulatory mechanism to check placement agencies which allegedly exploit migrant domestic helps and subject them to sexual abuse.
“I may observe that there are increasing incidents of gross misuse and abuse of the laws relating to rape and sexual abuse and exploitation of uneducated, ignorant and uninformed domestic workers by unscrupulous persons/placement agencies for their personal gains,” said Additional Sessions Judge Kamini Lau in an order made available Monday.
If a regulator was set up, then chances of the existing penal provisions being misused to implicate innocent people would be reduced and and no guilty would go scot free, Lau said.
