High Criminal Court sentenced a man in his thirties to three years in prison for assaulting a domestic worker and causing a permanent disability to her ear during an altercation inside his home.

According to court records, the incident took place on March 4, 2026, after authorities received a report that the worker sustained serious injuries resulting in a 7% permanent disability, as confirmed by a forensic medical report.

The victim told investigators that the dispute began when the defendant questioned her about his missing mobile phone before allegedly assaulting her and pushing her to the ground. She later discovered part of her left ear severed near the scene.

During the trial, the defendant denied the charges, claiming the worker had attacked him and stolen his phone. However, the court found him guilty and handed down a three-year prison sentence.

The defendant’s sister testified that she intervened after hearing screams and found both parties involved in a physical struggle, while investigators said the defendant admitted during questioning to biting the victim during the incident.
