Taking suo motu cognizance of a video on social media that allegedly shows a man hurling abuses at a young girl over her religion, the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) sent a notice to police demanding action against the accused. Police said that while a picture of the notice had been posted on social media, they were yet to receive a copy. The video purportedly shows a man using communal slurs and abusing the minor, while asking her to abuse her religion and god. It also appears to show him threatening to “hit her badly”. DCW chairperson Swati Maliwal, in the notice to DCP (Cyber Crime), said: “The man is clearly intimidating the girl who can be seen visibly frightened and shocked. it is a very serious matter.” KPS Malhotra, DCP (Cyber Crime), said, “We have not received any complaint in writing. We are looking into the matter.”
