Oil attack on maid - employer questioned by police

Victim fighting for her life after suffering first and second-degree burns

A female employer of an housemaid who works illegally in the UAE has been summoned by the Sharjah police for questioning in connection with allegations that an assailant poured hot cooking oil on the maid’s head and back, causing serious burns across the victim’s body.

Al Qassimi Hospital officials said the maid has been fighting for her life in the intensive care unit (ICU) after suffering first- and second-degree burns. The victim has been heavily medicated as the ICU team helps nurse her back to health.

The victim, identified as B.K., alleged in an interview that her employer threw flour, which the maid was preparing to make samosas, on the floor and ordered her to clean up the mess. The victim told police that while she was cleaning, the Moroccan assailant threw boiling oil on her.

The soft-spoken victim told us that the pain was unbearable. “The woman said her employer refused to allow her to seek medical treatment.

“She locked me [in the villa] for three days after the incident. She threatened me that if I told police about the incident, I would be affected because I am an illegal worker,” the maid said.

“These maids are human and they come here to earn a decent living to support their poor families. We have decided that this abuse must stop,” Dr Faisal Salman, a plastic surgeon at Al Qassimi Hospital, told Gulf News.

This evil woman who did this to the poor and helpless worker should be given a taste of her own medicine so she can realize the pain and suffering she has caused to this maid who came all this far from her home just to take care of her family back home

"..has been summoned by the Sharjah police for questioning " ?

The police should have taken her into custody.

If true and she is guilty , then she should be heavily punished - sadly I can't see it happening.

This disgraceful, disgusting and inhumane treatment of this poor section of workers seem to go on and on and on. Hope the authorities all around this parts realize and take note that this shameful treatment of this helpless workers gives a very bad name to this places all around the world. The authorities are ultimately responsible for letting this happen every now and then.

A real she-devil.. hopefully,considering that the case has come out in the open, she'll get a due recompense soon.

The words of Dr. Faisal Salman said "We have decided that this abuse must stop" Good going..hope his decision has the clout required to make it work!
