Kanjhawala Horror Repeated With DCW Chief Swati Maliwal

New Delhi: Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chief Swati Maliwal was allegedly molested by a drunk driver.

The incident reportedly took place on Thursday when the social activist was dragged for 10-15 meters at around 3 am by a driver.

Meanwhile, the 47-year-old driver has been arrested.

As per the police, the driver, identified as Harish Chandra, suddenly pulled up the glass window when Maliwal was reprimanding him for asking her to sit in his car. He also pressed her to get in.

When she refused, the man drove off but then took a U-turn and returned, taking the narrow parallel lane.

कल देर रात मैं दिल्ली में महिला सुरक्षा के हालात Inspect कर रही थी। एक गाड़ी वाले ने नशे की हालत में मुझसे छेड़छाड़ की और जब मैंने उसे पकड़ा तो गाड़ी के शीशे में मेरा हाथ बंद कर मुझे घसीटा। भगवान ने जान बचाई। यदि दिल्ली में महिला आयोग की अध्यक्ष सुरक्षित नहीं, तो हाल सोच लीजिए।

When he tried to force her to join him in the car, she reached into the window to catch him, but he allegedly put up the window, trapping her hand.

Reportedly such an incident took place days before in Delhi’s Kanjhawala, where 20-year-old Anjali Singh was dragged for 12 kilometres.

On January 1, Anjali, who worked at an event management company, was riding her scooter with her friend Nidhi when a Baleno car hit her vehicle. Anjali’s leg was caught in the left front wheel of the car, as per the forensics report, and she was dragged for 12 kilometres.
