DCW notice to top cop over misbehaviour by policemen with JNU students

November 07, 2016 18:58

Delhi Commission for Women has issued a notice to Police Commissioner, seeking an explanation for the alleged misbehaviour by policemen with female students of JNU during a protest.

"I have received a complaint from a girl regarding alleged groping and physical abuse by a police officer during a peaceful protest for missing JNU student Najeeb Ahmed at India Gate. A picture which clearly shows a policeman groping her was displayed today in the newspaper," DCW chief Swati Maliwal said in the letter issued to Delhi Police Commissioner Alok Verma.

"The complainant has also informed the commission that there were no female police personnel deputed there and when the girl students objected to this, the policemen abused the students, passed sexist comments and forcefully dragged the girls to a bus which too did not have any female policeperson," she added.

The women's body has asked the top cop to render an explanation within three days about reasons for the use of force on protesting students, including the complainant and the mother Najeeb.

"The commission wants to know the reasons for non-deployment of female officers at the time of the incident with the girl complainant. What is the name and designation of the male officer visible in the newspaper clipping who is seen groping the female complainant?," the notice said.
