Maliwal, along with the woman player, met the External Affairs Minister at her residence and complained of alleged inaction by police despite DCW forwarding the complaint about 14 days ago.
"We forwarded the complaint 14 days ago but there has been no FIR yet. If there is merit or no merit in the case that can be investigated later but why no FIR has been lodged?" Maliwal told reporters after the meeting.
DCW had then forwarded the complaint to Delhi Police and also demanded that an FIR be registered against Punjab Police for failing to register FIR against Singh despite the woman alleging rape and assault in January 2016.
"The law clearly states that if a woman says that she has been raped, police has to file an FIR. But Punjab Police did not do so despite the woman approaching them and even upon revelation of cognisable offence. Now, Delhi Police is also doing the same.

The DCW chief also submitted a letter to Swaraj that it is unbecoming of the country to deal with the case in this manner.
"It is unbecoming for the nation that an international athlete, who is the first Asian woman to represent England in hockey, is being made to run from pillar to post for filing an FIR. It is imperative that the allegations of the complainant be investigated properly in a fast-track manner," the letter said.
Sardar has earlier denied all the allegations levelled against him, saying that the charges were 'inappropriate' and 'false'.
