The police have asked the employer to return the passport of a Filipina maid who earlier had complained of physical assault against him.
A case is being prepared against the employer, identified as an Arab working in an embassy who allegedly attacked the maid with a lead pipe on the first day of Ramadhan.
The maid is housed at the Philippine embassy shelter. A medical check on her confirmed she suffered bruises and fractures on her hands when she tried to defend herself. The maid also suffered injuries in the head and the body.
An embassy official said they were in touch with the sponsor. The case has not been forwarded to the Public Prosecutor yet and is now considered a police case, based on the maid’s complaints.

Arrangements are being made for the maid to fly home.
“She may pursue her case and leave an affidavit to the embassy to represent her. She appears to have a very strong case of physical assault against the sponsor,” the official said.
