New Delhi, December 29: The Delhi Commission for Women rescued a woman from the residence of the former Congress minister. Rajkumar Chauhan, who was a four-term MLA during the Sheila Dikshit government in the national capital.
In her letter to the Delhi government, Chauhan's daughter sought help and requested the authorities to rescue her from her paternal residence.
Issuing a statement, the DCW said that the complainant wrote that she is being held captive and is often mercilessly beaten up by her father and brother.
Taking cognisance of the matter, DCW constituted a team and visited the given address along with Delhi Police. The complainant had informed the DCW that she had got married in 1999, but for the last 10 years, she has been living at her parent`s house in Delhi due to differences with her husband.
In her statement, she said that she doesn`t want to live with her parents anymore and wants action to be taken against them.
After learning that the police have only done a DD entry in the matter, the DCW issued a notice to the Delhi police asking them the reasons for not registering the FIR & has also sought security arrangements for the woman and her children considering the strong political background of the former Congress minister.
