Bassi On Crime Against Women

Women board chief Swati Maliwal today said that in case Delhi Police fails to submit data as sought by it on crimes against women, it will exercise its powers of a civil court.

The Delhi Commission for Women or DCW has asked police commissioner BS Bassi to appear before it next Monday and explain what it has called his "unjustifiable" failure to provide information on crimes against women, which the commission had repeatedly asked for in the past.

Never one to duck a controversy, Delhi Police Chief BN Bassi today declared, "It will be our pleasure to shoot or hang (the) accused in cases of crime against women if the Constitution of India permits us." It doesn't.

Delhi has witnessed an 18.3 percent rise in crime against women in 2014 as compared to 2013, with a significant 31.6 percent rise in rape cases, police said on Friday.
