“We are investigating the matter and issuing notices to Delhi Police and college administration. Action should be taken against those who did this and those who protected them”: Delhi Commission For Women chief Swati Maliwal was quoted as saying on Gargi college incident.
She added, “Delhi police constables were in Gargi college on duty when all this happened but they stayed quiet.”
For the uninitiated, students from south Delhi’s all-girls Gargi College alleged that they were manhandled, molested and sexually assaulted on the college campus during ‘Reverie’, the annual cultural fest, by drunk men who barged inside the college under the watch of the police.
A student also alleged that when she approached the college principal Promila Kumar, she responded by saying that I should have not come to the fest if I felt so unsafe.
