Those men did not stop. We are issuing a notice to Delhi Police. Those men should be identified and put behind jail," said the DCW chief.Earlier, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and a member of the National Commission for Women Khushbu Sundar said that she was sexually abused by her father and she is not ashamed about the incident as she came out with honesty."I have not made a startling statement. I think that was an honesty which I have come out with. I am not ashamed of what I have said because this has happened to me and I think the perpetrator needs to be ashamed for what he has done," the BJP leader toldwhen asked about her statement about being sexually abused by her father at the age of eight.Sundar further said that with her revelation she wants women to speak about what has happened to them."I think I need to send the message across that you have to be strong and take control of yourself and not let anything bring you down or think that this is the end of the road. If I have taken so many years to speak about it, I think women need to speak about it and tell them this has happened to me and I will continue my journey, no matter what," she added.Meanwhile, in relief for Swati Maliwal in a corruption case, the Delhi High Court on Friday stayed the proceedings against her till the next date of hearing.Maliwal had challenged the charges framed against her by the trial court in December 2022 under the Prevention of Corruption (POC) Act.The DCW chief is alleged to have abused her official position by illegally appointing acquaintances between August 2015 and 2016.Senior advocate Rebbeca John, appearing for Maliwal, submitted that there are no allegations of her receiving any pecuniary advantage in lieu of the appointment in question.Last year, the trial court had framed charges against Swati Maliwal, Promila Gupta, Sarika Chaudhary and Farheen Malick. It had said there is sufficient material to frame charges against the accused.This case was filed on the complaint of BJP leader Barkha Shukla Singh, a former DCW chief who was also attached to the Anti-corruption Branch in 2016. After an initial inquiry, an FIR was registered in the matter.It was alleged that a total of 87 appointments were made between August 6, 2015 and August 1, 2016.It was alleged by the agency that of the 87 persons appointed, 20 were found to be associated with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
