The Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) on Wednesday, 2 February, issued summons to the Shahdara Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) to provide protection to the 20-year-old rape survivor who was allegedly abducted, assaulted, and paraded by her neighbours last week.
The DCP is expected to appear before the Commission on Friday, 3 pm.
In the notice sent to the police, DCW Chairperson Swati Maliwal seeks protection for the survivor and her family:
"The survivor and her family have expressed concerns for their safety as the accused belong to a criminal background. The Delhi Police must come up with a mechanism of providing protection to her and ensuring a 'safe house' for her."
