Snooping row: NCW asks father to verify letter

The National Commission for Women today wrote to the father of the woman, who was allegedly put under illegal surveillance by Gujarat police at the behest of Chief Minister Narendra Modi, asking him to confirm the veracity of the letter.
"There is a lot of anonymity in the letter that was reportedly written by the woman's father. It did not have any email address, telephone or mobile number. We have written back to the postal address in the letter asking the woman's father to verify if it was written by him," NCW member Nirmala Samant Prabhavalkar told PTI.
She said the Commission has given seven days to the woman's father to reply.

"Several facts are missing from the letter. We have asked the woman's father to provide us with more particulars related to the case. The matter is serious as the letter was handed over to a security guard at NCW by an anonymous person last night who handed it over to us today," she said.
Maintaining that the matter is serious and the Commission is trying to probe further, Prabhavalkar said NCW has sent the letter to a Kutch address mentioned in the father's letter.
NCW also wants to know if this is a family-related dispute as the woman has not spoken on the issue till now.

NCW has also asked the Gujarat Government to probe the alleged snooping of a woman following instructions by former home minister of the state Amit Shah.
In the letter, the father has demanded that there was no need for any probe as there was no violation of privacy rights and this entire episode is being used for serving political ends.
