Actress Dimple Hayathi and Husband Booked Over Disturbing Domestic Worker Abuse Allegations

Prominent actress Dimple Hayathi and her husband, Victor, are facing serious legal scrutiny after being booked by Cyberabad's Gachibowli police. The couple stands accused of grievous charges, including physical abuse and criminal intimidation, following a complaint filed by their former domestic worker.

The allegations surfaced when the domestic worker, a native of Odisha, lodged a formal complaint upon returning to her home state.

The police have registered a case under Sections 324 (voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code, underscoring the severity of the accusations.

According to the detailed complaint, Victor, Dimple Hayathi’s husband, is alleged to have physically assaulted the worker, including an incident where he reportedly struck her with an iron rod.

The worker's statement further claims that both Hayathi and Victor resorted to threats when she attempted to voice her concerns or sought to leave their employment, instilling fear for her safety.

In addition to the alleged physical and emotional distress, the complaint also highlights financial exploitation.

The worker accused the couple of withholding her due salary for an extended period. Furthermore, she stated that they refused to cover the expenses for her return journey to Odisha, leaving her in a vulnerable and precarious situation far from her family and home. It was only after managing to travel back to her native place that she felt secure enough to pursue legal action.

The Gachibowli police are currently conducting a thorough investigation into the matter, gathering all necessary evidence and statements.

This development has sent ripples through the entertainment industry, as Dimple Hayathi is a recognized actress known for her roles in films such as “Khiladi” and “Ramabanam.” The outcome of this investigation will be keenly watched, as it pertains to serious allegations involving the rights and safety of domestic workers.
