DCW Chief Swati Maliwal Dragged By Car After Her Hand Got Stuck In Car's Window Opposite AIIMS

New Delhi: The Delhi Police on Thursday arrested a man for dragging DCW chief Swati Maliwal by a car for 10-15 meters opposite AIIMS. The incident took place opposite AIIMS gate 2 after her hand got stuck in car’s window as the driver, Harish Chandra, suddenly pulled up the glass window while she was reprimanding him as he asked her to sit in his car.

“Last night I was inspecting women’s security in Delhi. A car driver molested me in an inebriated condition and when I caught hold of him, he locked my hand in the car window and dragged me. God saved my life. If the Chairperson of the Women’s Commission is not safe in Delhi, then imagine the situation of other women in the national capital,” the tweet roughly translated from Hindi by the DCW chief said.

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।
