Mumbai, Aug 25: In the wake of growing abuse of domestic help and minors, the Maharashtra government on Tuesday filed cases against three actresses, Bollywood star-singer Suchitra Krishnamoorthi and television stars Laxmi and Uma Khan for allegedly employing child labour.
“We have initiated police action against them under various sections of the Child Labour and Prohibition Act, 1986, Juvenile Justice Act and other laws for employing child labour,” Labour Secretary Kavita Gupta told. She also promised action against television actress Urvashi Dharnorkar, who was arrested on Saturday on charges of beating, burning and confining her 10-year old maid.
