A representative of the women's body said they received a complaint from a person whose name was not disclosed by the NCW
The National Commission of Women (NCW) on Sunday said they were dispatching a team to Surat headed by acting chairperson Rekha Sharma to investigate the alleged sexual exploitation of a woman by PAAS leader Hardik Patel. A representative of the women's body said they received a complaint from a person whose name was not disclosed by the NCW.
"The girl herself is not the complainant in the complaint sent to NCW. However, the complaint contains personal information about a girl who wishes to talk to the Commission confidentially as she is scared to come forward," said the representative, adding that Sharma will talk to the media once the team has spoken to the girl and investigated the matter.
"There had been a viral sex CD featuring PAAS convenor Hardik Patel on social media. It seems that due to such behaviour by Hardik Patel, the sentiments of people of Gujarat have been hurt. I feel that both the women in the CD have been promised of post and money and have been sexually exploited," read the complaint. The complaint also mentions audio clips of a woman that has allegedly gone viral on social media in which the woman says that she fears defamation and has hence refrained from coming out.
The complaint further states that as Hardik Patel has termed the CD fake, FSL testing of the CD should be done to test its authenticity and to safeguard "voter's interest" as with the upcoming elections, people need to know if Hardik is a rapist.
This is the second complaint against the videos of Patel that went viral. A Delhi-based lawyer Gaurav Gulati had also registered a complaint to the NCW to carry out legal action.
