Disappointed with the Delhi Police's refusal to provide data on crimes against women, the DCW on Sunday wrote a letter to Police Commissioner B.S. Bassi and said that it was not a 'battle of supremacy'.

The DCW has summoned Bassi on Monday and issued a warning, saying it would exercise its powers of a civil court if the data on crimes against women is not provided.

The police had earlier refused to give the data putting forward the argument that giving information to the DCW on crimes against women will create a law and order problem in Delhi.

DCW chief Swati Maliwal had earlier alleged that the Delhi Police was not cooperating with the judicial body with its rigid stand of not sharing the data regarding crime against women in the national capital.
