NCW demands security for kin of AAP worker who killed self

Accusing the Aam Aadmi Party of abetting the suicide of one of the party's woman activists, the National Commission for Women has demanded security for her family.
"We strongly condemn the AAP party for neglecting to take action against the perpetrators of this terrible crime and thereby indirectly abetting this tragic loss of life," a NCW statement said.
"NCW demands that protection to the family of the deceased should be provided so that they are able to state the facts in the court without any fear for their lives and property," it said.
Lalitha Kumaramangalam, NCW Chairperson, had also hit out at Delhi Commission for Women, where 28-year-old Soni had filed a harassment complaint, for "not taking swift action".

She said, "Had DCW taken a strong step and provided her security, may be Soni would have been alive today."
The woman had filed a complaint against party colleague Ramesh Bharadwaj for allegedly touching her inappropriately and a case of molestation was registered in June and the accused was arrested.

The woman had committed suicide in Narela area of outer Delhi on July 19, with her family members claiming that she had gone into depression after her alleged molester was released on bail. She had alleged that the accused was being protected by the local MLA.
The woman consumed poisonous substance at her home in the afternoon and died during treatment at LNJP Hospital.

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal met Soni's family a day after his government ordered a magisterial inquiry in to the case even. BJP, however, has demanded a CBI inquiry in to the case.
