Indian police rescued a 13-year-old maid who was locked up by her employers in their apartment with little food and water while they vacationed in Thailand.
The girl was rescued after spending 6 days locked up in the apartment, in an upper-middle class New Delhi neighbourhood.
News reports say her employers were doctors. The neighbours heard her crying for help and called police.
A child welfare official said the girl ran out of food after two days and was weak with hunger.
India's child labour laws make it illegal to employ children under 14, but the law is rampantly flouted.
