A woman sat on a solitary protest near the Parliament here on Saturday morning in the wake of the gangrape and murder of a 27-year-old veterinarian on the outskirts of Hyderabad, and alleged that she was harassed and beaten up by police personnel following which the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) issued a notice to the Delhi Police.

Holding a placard with the slogan “Why I can’t feel safe in my own Bharat”, Anu Dubey, in her mid-20s, sat on the pavement near gate number 2-3 of the Parliament House complex to protest crime against women in the country, the police said.

She alleged “gross misbehaviour, harassment and violence” by Delhi Police personnel from the Parliament Street police station who forcefully removed her from the site and detained her.

Though the police denied the allegations, the DCW issued a notice to the Deputy Commissioner of Police, New Delhi, seeking action against the erring officials. — PTI
