The incident took place in the Golds Villa PG located in the Karol Bagh area. As per reports, a complaint was made to the owner of the PG, but no action was taken against the accused.

However, the DCW stepped in and has issued a notice to Delhi Police. 

DCW chief Swati Maliwal has asked Delhi Police to register an FIR immediately and arrest the accused. The Commission has also sought the details of registration of the said PG. 

The commission has also directed the police to submit an ‘action taken report’ latest by 4 pm on August 18. 

DCW chairperson Swati Maliwal stated, “A disturbing incident has been reported to the Commission. An FIR must be registered immediately and the accused must be arrested. The brazenness of the act is unnerving and the strongest action needs to be taken.”
