"We have called the husband of the victimised woman at the Commission and he had come. Our attempt is to unite them as the woman has alleged that her husband left her following rumours of her illicit affair with the leader. Kumar Vishwas hasn't bothered to reach here today," DCW chairperson Barkha Shukla Singh told reporters here.
Following this, DCW yesterday issued fresh summons to him to appear before it, and Singh in front of the television cameras had requested Vishwas to appear before them and help save the woman's family.
The complainant who was also present at the DCW accused Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Vishwas of being "very insensitive" and alleged that "Vishwas and Kejriwal were concerned about their dignity, what about mine and my family?"
Later, an altercation broke out between the complainant and another AAP volunteer who had come to the Commission today. They both got into verbal argument after which DCW member and investigating officer in the case, Sudha Tokas had to intervene.
Upset with outsiders interrupting the DCW proceedings, DCW chairperson accused AAP of disrupting the press conferences and case hearings and said, she would write to the Home Minister, Lt Governor and Delhi Police Commissioner in this regard.
Yesterday, high drama was witnessed when one member revolted against the DCW chairperson and stormed out of a press conference saying that the decision to issue summons to Vishwas and his wife was "politically motivated" and she was resigning from the panel in protest.
