New Delhi: Attacking the Punjab Police for not doing the needful,

(DCW) on Wednesday highlighted the case of an international woman hockey player who has alleged rape, physical abuse and criminal intimidation by the captain of the Indian hockey team,

, in both Punjab and Delhi. A British national of Indian origin, she has alleged that she was assaulted in

too by Singh. DCW has issued a notice to

for explaining within seven days its inaction in the matter so far.

On Tuesday, the woman filed a complaint at the Chanakyapuri police station. DCP (New Delhi) Jatin Narwal said the matter was under investigation. An FIR has not been registered yet.

" Kab kiya complaint (When did she complain?)," was Singh's reaction to TOI. "I can't control anyone's mind, can't change what people think. I don't want to make any comment. Punjab Police had dismissed her complaint. I am concentrating on my game, my hockey. It's an important year (Olympics is round the corner) and I want to think of only that," he said. Hockey India chief Narendra Batra refused to comment, saying: "I am out of the country. Will speak only on my return."

The woman, 21, alleged at the press conference, in the presence of DCW chief Swati Maliwal and other commission members, that she was raped by Singh in a five-star hotel in Delhi in October 2014 and that he subseqently tried to kill her by trying to push her from the top floor.

Asked why she had not filed a case at the time of the incident, the woman said she was not familiar with the laws then and Singh gave her the impression that since she was a Birtish national, she cannot take action against him under Indian law. The commission said the woman had been running from pillar to post in Punjab to register a case.

DCW claimed the woman had met Singh, who is a DSP with Haryana Police, at the age of 17. Her complaint to the police says they became friends on a social networking site in 2012. He allegedly proposed to her and they got engaged in February 2014. "On the pretext of marriage, he developed a physical relationship with her. He even forced her to abort their child in May 2015. She has alleged that Singh regularly beat her up and forced her to have physical relations with him," it is alleged in the statement.

"Most of the alleged incidents of rape occurred in Punjab," said the statement. "She gave a written complaint to Punjab Police on January 31, 2016, and despite the passage of five months, Punjab Police, in complete violation of the criminal law of India, has not registered an FIR till date. Instead, it set up an SIT which after recording sexist observations disposed of the complaint by filing it in April 2016, and asked the complainant to go to Haryana Police," states DCW, citing the woman's submission. The commission claimed that Hockey India too had taken no action on the complaint she had sent in May 2016, with a copy to Arun Jaitley, an advisor to the federation. She is claimed to have approached the Sports Authority of India too, Maliwal stated.

The commission has called for an FIR under Section 166A of IPC to be registered against Punjab Police for failing to register an FIR against Singh on revelation of a cognizable offence. It has also claimed that if it's true that Hockey India had released a statement describing her as a "fan stalker" of Singh, as claimed by her, it would be "prejudicial to the cause of a fair trial and contravene a woman's right to dignity as enshrined in Article 21 of the Indian Constitution". It has sought an explanation from Hockey India.
