After a 13-year-old domestic help was rescued from her employer’s home, the Delhi Police has issued a lookout notice at airports for the airhostess. Bira Thotiti, an airhostess with Air India, is currently in Australia and due to arrive on Thursday.
Metropolitan Magistrate Jay Thereja on Thursday recorded the minor’s statement after police had moved an application seeking the court’s permission to record the alleged victim’s statement by a magistrate under Section 164 of CrPC. The statement recorded by a magistrate under Section 164 of CrPC binds the accused/witness against taking any U-turn by her/him during trial and any such act makes her/him liable to be prosecuted on charges of perjury.
