The Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) on Saturday issued a notice to Delhi Police in connection with the alleged misbehaviour with a woman protesting in New Delhi against the Telangana doctor rape and murder case. The notice, issued to the Deputy Commissioner of Police, has sought the details of the complaint by December 4.

In the notice, DCW Chairperson Swati Maliwal said the woman protester, identified as Anu Dubey, has alleged she was "hit, beaten up and threatened by three Delhi Police cops".

Swati Maliwal wrote: "She [Anu Dubey] has alleged that HC Kuldeep, HC Manju and one more officer misbehaved with her, hit her and threatened her. She was allegedly thrown on a bed where three women police officers sat over her and beat her."

Dubey has informed that she was silently and singularly protesting against the horrific rape, burning and murder of a 26-year-old doctor in Telangana, the panel said, adding, "She was simply standing with a placard in front of the Parliament when some police personnel forcibly removed her and took her to Parliament Street police station."

The DCW chairperson also said Anu Dubey had scratch marks all over her body and "blood was also coming out from her wounds".

"She has submitted a complaint in this regard to the PS Parliament Street. This is a very serious matter," Swati Maliwal said in the notice.

The panel said Anu Dubey has alleged "gross misbehaviour, harassment and violence" by Delhi Police personnel from Parliament Street police station, adding, "DCW has taken cognisance of complaint from Anu Dubey". The notice has been issued to the Deputy Commissioner of Police, New Delhi district.

The panel has sought information whether an FIR has been registered against the accused police personnel for beating the girl, and sought a copy of it if registered.

It has also sought reasons for removing the woman from the site, even though she was alone and sitting quietly, and details of officials responsible for misbehaviour with the woman.

However, police denied the allegations.

Anu Dubey's protest came a day after the charred body of a 27-year-old veterinary doctor was found on the outskirts of Hyderabad which sparked national outrage. She was raped and killed allegedly by four men who had earlier deflated the tyres of her two-wheeler.
