DCW Chief Swati Maliwal demands Subhash Barala's resignation

August 10, 2017 10:53

Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chief Swati Maliwal on Thursday asked for BJP Haryana unit President Subhash Barala's resignation after he was accused of using his power to save his son Vikas Barala and his friend Ashish Kumar in the Chandigarh stalking case.

"Subhash Barala should immediately give his resignation as I do not think that a person who is busy saving his culprit son and is defending his misdeeds is capable of being in such a public position," Maliwal told ANI on Thursday.

"He has used his political power and has made effort to save his son. It was the pressure of media and people that accused got arrested. I hope that strictest punishment will be given," she added.

Vikas Barala was arrested on August 5 on the charges of stalking and harassing the IAS officer's daughter in Chandigarh. He was, however, granted bail on the same day. -- ANI
