Complaint against Kumar Vishwas handed over to police: HC told

Delhi Commission for Women has closed proceedings against AAP leader Kumar Vishwas on a complaint of party volunteer after he failed to appear before it and has handed over the matter to police to probe and take "action as per law", the Delhi High Court was today informed.
The complainant had alleged that her life was ruined as Vishwas was not rebutting "rumours" about their alleged illicit relationship.
Former DCW chairperson Barkha Singh's counsel told Justice V P Vaish that even though the file of the complainant was closed by it, the Delhi police was given instruction to further probe and take "action as per law".

"On June 23, 2015 none appeared except the respondent no. 3 (the woman complainant) who pressed from the respondent no.1 and 2 (DCW and the then Chairperson).
"Singh on finding that the petitioner (Vishwas) and his wife intentionally avoided to join the proceedings of the DCW, closed the file of the respondent no. 3 with the instruction to the Delhi police for further investigation and action as per law," advocate Rahul Kumar, appearing for Singh informed the court.
He also stated that "she acted on the complaint filed by the woman before the DCW".

"The allegation in the complaint and the relief sought for and the material produced in the support of the complaint was sufficient enough to issue summons against Vishwas. Therefore, the present writ petition filed by Vishwas is without any basis and abuse of process of law and court," Singh's counsel said, adding that she has already retired from the DCW and the petition now becomes infructuous.

The court, which was hearing a plea by Vishwas seeking stay on the summons issued to him by DCW, however, fixed the matter for further consideration on December 14.
Meanwhile, the woman complainant, who was also present in the court in pursuance to court's earlier order, submitted her response through advocate Inder Singh seeking dismissal of Vishwas' petition.
