The National Commission For Women (NCW) took a suo motu cognisance of a media report mentioning that a DMK’s youth wing office bearer’s wife claimed that the leader forced girls to “sleep with politicians.”
The NCW Chairperson has written to the DGP of Tamil Nadu urging immediate, impartial, and transparent investigation. The letter stressed the need to ensure the survivor’s safety, constitute an independent investigation team, prevent any political interference, and take prompt action under relevant provisions of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.
The Commission has also sought a detailed Action Taken Report along with a copy of the FIR within three days.
