| A mob of angry domestic workers chanted in protest and threw stones at a luxury high-rise outside India's capital on Wednesday, laying bare the deep divisions between the haves and have-nots in one of the world's fastest-growing economies.
Police said that more than 150 maids working in the apartment complex in suburban Noida set upon the gates just after 6 a.m. - about the time many of them report for duty - because they believed one of their fellow domestic workers was being held inside against her will.
The maids forced their way into the Mahagun Moderne complex, throwing stones and leaving broken windows and strewn glass in their wake.
Police said one of the high-rise's residents had accused her employee of stealing. The maid's family said the woman was beaten and held prisoner overnight after she demanded two months' worth of unpaid wages.
"Madam said to me, if you try to run away, I'll throw you in the dust bin. I'll kill you," the maid, Johra Bibi, said in a whisper, lying on a small cot outside her slum dwelling not far away.
