Each and every person should have the right to live safely. The educated people of our society clamour for the rights of freedom for everyone. But the reality is different. The news of a doctor couple abusing a domestic help is a striking example of what is going on.

The doctors take oath while they start their medical career to serve the sick and helpless people honestly. But this doctor couple has probably forgotten their oaths and proved it wrong. They have so brutally tortured their little domestic help that it has brought shame to all civilised and cultured people of our society. The domestic help has said that she was punished even for her minor mistakes.

Now the question arises, how can educated (?) people behave so brutally with a little maid?
