The frequency of attack by domestic servant has been growing on a regular basis in Delhi. A senior citizen in Greater Kailash-I has been attacked by domestic help. A retired army officer, who was living alone for 3 years has hired a cook recently who has allegedly poisoned the officer three days ago. The major was hospitalised but is now back at home.

Retd. Major KC Anand said, ''On Wednesday, I was served food by my other help. There was nothing wrong in the food till then I had gone up to my terrace. I don't remember when I fainted.'

The two other domestic helpers had also eaten the same meal. Major Anand's new cook robbed the house and disappeared. His daughter lives in another country but the major is convinced she saved his life.

''My daughter had called from Dubai, I don't know but I said something to her in a semi-conscious state. She sensed something wrong. Luckily, she had the number of the SHO of GK. She then called him up,'' said Major K C Anand.

The major said that he is meticulous about having his staff verified by the police but the new cook was a friend of one of his old staff members. So, the senior citizen relaxed his usual strict standards.
