NEW DELHI: National Commission for Women termed allegations of sexual abuse against Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna “distressing” and wrote to the Karnataka police chief asking him to “promptly apprehend the accused” and submit a report within three days.
Condemning the “reprehensible acts”, NCW said, “Incidents of this nature not only pose a grave threat to the safety and dignity of women but also contribute to the perpetuation of a culture of disrespect and violence against them.”
On Monday, Congress had questioned the silence of Centre and NCW.
All India Mahila Congress chairperson Alka Lamba wrote to NCW seeking immediate action and protection to women who filed complaints against Revanna.
NCW chairperson Rekha Sharma said, “…We urge prompt and decisive action from the concerned police authority to swiftly apprehend the accused, who has fled the country.
