‘Recruit 66,000 new cops’, says DCW

January 3, 2023, 2:31 pm

Suggesting key changes to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in Delhi the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) on Tuesday asked to ensure women’s safety after the tragic death of a 20-year-old woman.

“The Ministry of Home Affairs should set up a high-level committee on women’s safety. Accountability of Delhi Police should be fixed,” DCW chief Swati Maliwal said.

“66,000 new recruitments should be done in Delhi Police. PCR system should be strengthened. Delhi Police should be Modernized, Sensitized and Incentivized,” reads the letter.

The letter further reads, “A high-level committee should be set up in the Home Ministry under the chairpersonship of Hon’ble Home Minister, GOI which should include Hon’ble Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Delhi, Home Secretary GOI, Police Commissioner and DOA’ Chairperson. The comments should be mandated to meet once a month and create a coordinated strategy for tackling crimes against women and girls in the Capital.”

Meanwhile, the DCW chief wants the Home Ministry to increase accountability and sensitize its officers in Delhi.

“Urgent steps should be undertaken to increase the accountability of Delhi Police and sensitize its officers on issues concerning crimes against women and girls in the Capital. The Home Ministry must set up an example in the Kanjhawala case by taking action against those police officers who failed in protecting the girl while she was being dragged for 12 km on the streets of Delhi,” the letter reads.

Moreover, Maliwal wants to provide adequate human resources to the Delhi police on an urgent basis.

“The Delhi Police is short of human resources and each police station continues to function at less than half its sanctioned strength. The Delhi Police had demanded 66,000 additional police personnel 20 years back from the Government. The same has not been provided to them to date!” the letter said.

“In April 2018, after my hunger strike, 3000 additional police forces were sanctioned for Delhi. Clearly, this is not enough. Further, women form a measly 9 percent of the police force which should also be increased. Presently, due to a shortage of resources, Delhi Police personnel are made to work long hours and handle hundreds of cases. Increasing the resources of the police shall help reduce the workload and increase the quality of their performance. The Home Ministry should therefore urgently provide Delhi Police adequate human resources so that it functions more effectively,” the letter stated.

DCW chief alleged that on the incident spot no PCR was reached for several hours.

“Through media reports, it has been learned that in the Kanjhawala case, eyewitnesses made several calls to the emergency helpline number of Delhi Police, but allegedly no PCR van reached the spot for several hours. This is unacceptable and the PCR unit of Delhi Police should be strengthened so that it is equipped to deal with emergency situations,” read the letter.

“The Home Ministry must take steps to modernize Delhi Police and they should be provided state-of-the-art infrastructure to deal with crimes against women and girls in the Capital. Further, all police personnel must undergo regular gender sensitization,” the letter read further.

Earlier on 1 January in the alleged accident, DCW took a suo moto cognizance of media reports of the woman’s death.

“As per media reports, at midnight of New Year, a car allegedly hit the scooty of a woman in the Kanjhawala area of Delhi. Reportedly, the car dragged the woman on the road for around 7-8 kilometers. The dead body of the woman was found on the road without any clothes,” the DCW release further stated.

Moreover, on January 1 at 2 pm DCW summoned the Delhi Police and also sought documents from the police including a copy of the FIR and details of the arrested accused, a post-mortem copy, and what action has been taken against the accused in the case.

However, on Sunday, a car hit the woman who was killed and then dragged for a few kilometers on the road. The condition of the girl after the incident was terrible and her clothes were also not there on her body.

“It’s AAP’s fraud” Former Delhi Commission for Women chief

December 9, 2022, 2:07 pm

Barkha Shukla, a former leader of the Delhi Commission for Women, accused the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) of being involved in the selection of members for the organisation and said that no educational screenings were done before recruitment.

“Appointments in the Delhi Commission of Women after 2015 weren’t done as per the rules. They recruited their own people. High salaries amounting to nearly Rs 1 lakh are paid. There has been a lot of corruption. Maliwal’s secretary should be an IAS officer. Earlier there was Archana Arora but she resigned as they misbehaved with her. Then they recruited their own volunteer who did not belong to the IAS category for the post,” she said.

Shukla further alleged that the “fraud” of appointments is taking place under the Aam Aadmi Party’s watch.
“It’s AAP’s fraud. It’s all happening under the Aam Aadmi Party’s watch. They do what they want. The level of education and social work experience of appointees weren’t checked before making a person a member. I had complained in 2015, the result has come now,” she said.

Barkha Shukla made her comments after a special court mandated that DCW Chairperson Swati Maliwal be charged with corruption and criminal conspiracy. The accused reportedly appointed members of the Aam Admi Party (AAP) to various positions inside the commission, and the court determined that there were sufficient evidence to support this claim on a prima facie basis.

November 24, 2022, 4:27 pm

The head of the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW), Swati Maliwal, announced on Thursday that she would issue a notice to Jama Masjid for “stopping the entry of women” despite the mosque’s management’s claim that only visitors who were disrespectful of the mosque’s sanctity by dressing inappropriately were being turned away.

“The decision to stop the entry of women into Jama Masjid is absolutely wrong. As much as a man has the right to worship, so does a woman. I am issuing notice to the Imam of Jama Masjid. No one has the right to stop the entry of women like this,” Maliwal tweeted.

Ansar-ul-Haq, the mosque’s assistant public relations officer, said some women shot music and dance videos inside the 17th century mosque, disrespecting the masjid’s sanctity. “Entry is allowed for others who visit with family members for an outing or picnic. Even if a student or any other woman wants to visit, they are allowed to visit if they are respectful of the surroundings.”

Mosque officials said a plaque on the premises saying “women are not permitted inside the mosque alone” is for visitors who are dressed inappropriately and do not respect the sanctity of the place of worship.

She further requested that the Delhi Police detain those who reportedly threatened to rape her.

“I’ve been getting rape threats on Instagram ever since I wrote a letter to the I&B minister requesting that #SajidKhan be removed from Bigg Boss. They obviously want to halt what we are doing.

DCW chief demanded removal of Sajid Khan from Big Boss, gets rape threats

October 12, 2022, 1:08 pm

Swati Maliwal, chief of the Delhi Commission of Women (DCW) on Wednesday said that she is receiving rape threats on social media as a consequence of writing a letter to Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur to remove filmmaker Sajid Khan of Big Boss over allegations of sexual harassment against him.

Swati has also asked the Delhi Police to arrest the people who allegedly threatened of raping her. She tweeted, “Ever since I wrote a letter to the I&B minister to get #SajidKhan out of Bigg Boss, I have been receiving rape threats on Instagram. They want to stop our work. I am giving a complaint to Delhi Police. Register FIR and investigate. Arrest those who are behind them.”

Sajid Khan has appeared on the latest season of Big Boss. The demands for his removal are surfacing the social media as he has numerous harassment complaints against him.

The DCW chief tweeted on Monday and said that the numerous complaints against Sajid Khan show his disgusting mentality.

“Ten women had accused Sajid Khan of sexual harassment during the #MeToo movement. All these complaints show the disgusting mentality of Sajid. Now, this man has been given a place in Bigg Boss, which is wrong. I have written to @ianuragthakur to have Sajid Khan removed from this show,” she tweeted.

Sajid participated in Big Boss 16 and appeared on the screens on 1st October which has led to a lot of anger among people.

After nine women in the industry who had collaborated with Khan on his numerous films accused the director of sexual harassment, Sajid became embroiled in the #MeToo scandal in 2018. Actresses including Mandana Karimi, Saloni Chopra, Sherlyn Chopra, and Aahana Kumra, among others, are said to have made the accusations against him.
Singer Sona Mohapatra, who claimed to have been harassed by music composer Anu Malik, has criticised Colors TV’s choice to invite Sajid into the Bigg Boss house.
Sajid made the moral decision to resign from his position as director of “Houseful 4” after hearing the accusations. Filmmaker Farhad Samji was given the reins for the direction. Additionally, he said that his family was under “pressure” when he made his decision.
