A selfie with a rape survivor in Jaipur has landed the Chairperson of Rajasthan State Commission for Women and its member in trouble as the National Commission for Women has summoned them after reprimanding for a "very insensitive" act.
The Chairperson of NCW today ticked off Somya Gurjar, member of Rajasthan State Commission for Women, and Suman Sharma, who heads the state panel, and asked them to present themselves before the body on July 4.
The selfie was clicked by Gurjar yesterday when she, along with chairperson, had met a rape survivor at a mahila police station in Jaipur North district.
