Terming as “unacceptable” the incident where an Indian woman’s hand was chopped off by her employer in Saudi Arabia, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said the matter has been taken up with Saudi authorities.

“We are very much disturbed over the brutal manner in which the Indian lady has been treated in Saudi Arabia,” Swaraj said Friday.

According to her sister S Vijayakumari, she went to Saudi Arabia to work as a domestic help three months ago.

“When she tried to escape harassment and torture, her right hand was chopped off by the woman employer. She sustained serious spinal injuries,” Vijayakumari said. “Kasturi’s employer became angry when she told local officials about the harassment she was facing there. She was not even provided food.”
