New Delhi: Delhi is not just 'rape capital' but also 'stalking capital' making it a highly unsafe city for women, Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) Chief Swati Maliwal informed Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh today.
"According to data of National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB) for 2015, Delhi is not just rape capital but also stalking capital. Last week, a 23-year-old girl was set ablaze because she turned down a stalker's proposal. I met that girl who has suffered 95 per cent burns and is battling for life in hospital," she said in the letter to the home minister.
"We get so many complaints of this nature. However, the commission feels that after the initial registration of FIRs, the victim falls into the trap of systemic rigmarole. Justice is often delayed due to the high pendency of cases and delays in investigation and forensic reports.
Ms Maliwal also reiterated her demands of constitution of high-level committees on women safety and re-notification of Special Task Force on women safety and police station level committees.
