February 25, 2017 18:48

After the Ramjas College incident, the Delhi Commission for Women on Saturday issued a notice to Delhi Police asking who ordered the lathi-charge against the protesting students.

DCW chairperson Swati Maliwal also said that the policemen attacking female protesters in DU could be charged for molestation and that severe punishment was needed. Policemen attacking female protesters in DU may amount to molestation; severe punishment needed, she said.

Maliwal also tweeted saying that she was shocked that police was now openly molesting the protesters and it was shameful that those who were supposed to protect had turned into violators. Was part of several protests. Been lathi charged but never touched by police. Cops turning into goons now. Molesting protesters openly (sic), she said, also urging for an independent high level inquiry in the matter.
