RANCHI: A Jharkhand BJP woman leader, who brutally tortured a housemaid, has been arrested. The arrested Seema Patra is the wife of BJP leader and former IAS officer Maheshwa Patra. The action comes after public outrage over the police's unwillingness to arrest Seema despite registering an FIR.

It is alleged that Sunita (29), who was working in their house for the last ten years, was brutally tortured. Sunita was made to lick the toilet with her tongue. Her tooth was broken with an iron rod. She was also burnt with a hot pan.

Sunita also had to clean the urine on the ground by licking. According to the complaint, she was not even given enough food or water.

The complainant has revealed to the police that Seema's son saved her. A strange revelation has also come out that he is currently undergoing treatment in a mental health centre. It is being alleged that Seema herself is portraying her son as a mental patient so her actions do not come out. The tribal woman was taken out of the leader's house by the police.

Hope Seema Patra gets highest level of punishment. This is inhuman crime.#Jharkhand #Seemapatra #PMOIndia pic.twitter.com/AbZyU2qCen
