A spa owner was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly setting a dog on her employee who had asked for pending salary in south Delhi’s Malviya Nagar, officials said.

The incident took place on June 11. The victim, Sapna, 39, suffered injuries and received at least 15 stitches on her face and neck, the police said.

Sapna said she had worked in the spa, owned by Rajni, for one-and-a-half months before the coronavirus lockdown and left the job on March 22.

Sapna alleged that when she asked Rajni about her dues on June 11, she was called to the employer’s house and asked to do some work, following which she would get money. When Sapna refused to do so, Rajni let her dog loose on Sapna, according to the FIR lodged by the victim.
