The Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) on Monday sent a notice to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Kumar Vishwas for allegedly molesting a Muslim party volunteer.
"She is his party worker who had been coming to us. She has also written a letter to Kejriwal and the police commissioner. Even we have sent a notice from our side. I think he (Vishwas) should come forward tomorrow and clarify, because she is a party worker and it is a matter of her dignity," said DCW chairperson Barkha Shukla.
