Dehradun/Haridwar : Uttarakhand Women Commission President Kusum Kandwal has taken suo motu cognizance of the case of indecent behavior and taking photos and videos of a female doctor in a train coming from Dehradun to Kathgodam. She has asked for strict action in the incident during a phone conversation with Superintendent of Police Railway Haridwar, Sarita Dobhal regarding women safety in railways. She said that taking photos and videos of anyone without permission is a crime and the youth who secretly takes photos and videos of a woman should be punished, along with this, it should be seriously investigated what was the motive of the youth who made the video. He has also directed to inform the commission about its investigation report.
State Women Commission Chairperson Kusum Kandawal, while giving instructions to Superintendent of Police Railway Haridwar Sarita Dobhal, said that the matter should be investigated seriously. This is very condemnable, such action should be taken against such accused that anyone else thinks a hundred times before committing such a crime. While today the governments are making strict laws regarding women’s safety and the Chief Minister of the state Pushkar Singh Dhami is sensitive towards women empowerment and security, some anarchist elements are doing such reprehensible acts. Women Commission Chairperson Kusum Kandawal has appealed to everyone that if anyone is anywhere and does such a reprehensible act, then come forward and cooperate to take strict legal action against him because women are also part of the backbone of the society and the Commission stands with them to provide safety and justice to women in any kind of incidents.
