The Times of India had reported on the incident back then, it said that the name of the house help is Asha Kaushal.
The report states that "Asha Kaushal (55), a resident of Bagh Mugalia locality, allegedly laced urine in the food at the kitchen of her employer's Surendra Garden residence. She was unaware of the fact that the CCTV camera installed in the kitchen was recording the entire act".
