A 17-year-old girl from Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh and two 20-year-old girls, one from AP and another from Poonamallee, who were employed as bonded labourers at a sprawling house at Valasaravakkam in Chennai, were rescued by a team of officials on Tuesday.

Medical examination of the girls showed they had suffered multiple bodily injuries from years of physical abuse.
The house owner, Z Rashida (50), has been arrested and she will be remanded soon, sources said. Rashida owns an imitation jewellery shop in Anna Nagar. Her husband Zaheer Hussain works abroad.
Rashida had allegedly loaned ₹3 lakh each to the girls from Andhra Pradesh, while the girl from Poonamallee had been employed for six years after being given a loan of ₹1.5 lakh. The 20-year-old from Andhra Pradesh had been working there for three years. They were not paid any monthly salary.
Sources said that the minor girl's father suffered a paralytic attack five years ago.
