The NCW sought to know what action was taken by the police against female NCP leaders who attacked actor Ketaki Chitale outside a police station.
The National Commission for Women (NCW) on Friday sought to know from the Maharashtra police why action was taken only against Marathi actor Ketaki Chitale, arrested for allegedly sharing an objectionable social media post about NCP president Sharad Pawar, when the comment in question had been shared by multiple people previously, and also sought an explanation on a number of other points.
The commission, which held a hearing in the matter in New Delhi, posed a series of questions over the arrest of Ms Chitale (29) by the Thane police last month.
NCW chairperson Rekha Sharma chaired the hearing where Milind Bharambe, special IG (law and order), appeared on behalf of the Maharashtra Director General of Police, the panel said in an official statement after the proceedings.
The panel sought to know why the provision of defamation was invoked in the FIR lodged against the actor and who was the complainant in the matter, said the statement.
