The Delhi Commission for Women has summoned Delhi Police for alleged inaction in a complaint of sexual harassment at a beggar home by an Uzbek woman.
The women's body had issued a notice to police after DCW chief Swati Maliwal had met the woman who had complaint of sexual assault.
The woman, who has been at the shelter since December 15, has alleged that she was "sexually assaulted" by a police officer posted in the Foreigner Regional Registration Office (FRRO) prior to her arrival at the home.
"The commission has learnt that till date no FIR has been filed in the case and the information sought by us has also not been provided," said the notice issued to SHO, Dwarka North last month.
The issue was highlighted during an inspection by Maliwal at the beggar home in Nirmal Chhaya Complex.
The SHO has been asked to appear before the commission on February 21 to explain the "unreasonable cause of delay in action in the mentioned case".
