New Delhi, May 14

The National Commission for Women (NCW) has directed the Uttar Pradesh DGP to take strict and immediate action against the accused in the reported gang rape of a domestic help, who later set herself on fire.

The woman, who was “sold” for Rs 10,000 and raped by the people for whom she was forced to work as domestic help, set herself afire after the police officials allegedly refused to register her complaint.

The NCW issued a notice to UP DGP OP Singh directing him to take strict and immediate action. “Considering the gravity of the matter, it is requested that the matter be thoroughly investigated and action taken against the erring officials,” NCW chairperson Rekha Sharma said. — PTI
