Maid flees after drugging employers

New Delhi, Sep 30 (UNI) A 40-year-old maid fled with jewellery worth lakhs and some cash after drugging her employers in Civil Lines area of North Delhi this morning.

Laxmi allegedly laced the morning tea with drugs of her employers Siddhartha Chaddha (32), his wife Radha (26) and mother-in-law Pushpa (60) and escaped from their Yamuna Marg residence in Civil Lines with jewellery worth lakhs, according to sources.
