When I resisted, they started assaulting me. There were four of them, the salon’s owner, two of his colleagues and another man who works there. They left the scene after bashing me up. I called 100 but the police was slow to respond. After I reached the police station to file a complaint, I was told that they (the accused) had already filed a complaint against me. The police didn’t pay heed to my request to file a complaint. The incident took place at Knowledge Park around 5.30 pm on Saturday. As the Knowledge Park police wasn’t willing to file a complaint against the accused, I met Senior Superintendent of Police Vaibhav Krishna, after which an FIR was registered.
The woman accused the owner for not paying her dues, when she had joined the salon in March as a makeup artist. During the time of joining she was promised a monthly salary of Rs. 17,000 but till date she had not received a single rupee of her salary.
