This was noticed by a relative of the girl on Wednesday and this led to a crowd gathering at the couple's residence and confronting and manhandling them.

The 10-year-old girl has been medically examined.

"We reached the spot and found that a 10-year-old girl has been kept as domestic help by a couple. Her medical examination was conducted in which some injuries and burn marks came to the fore," Dwarka DCP M Harsha Vardhan said.
