The National Commission for Women (NCW) has directed the DGP of Uttar Pradesh to register an FIR under relevant sections against Yati Narsinghanand Saraswati. The direction came after videos of his alleged speech went viral on Twitter.
NCW India cited a video shared by Vinod Kapri on the basis of which it concluded that Yati Narsinghanand had made “inappropriate remarks for Women and using indecent words”. Vinod Kapri had tagged NCW in his tweet.
@NCWIndia has taken cognizance of the incident. Chairperson @sharmarekha has written to @dgpup to take immediate action and register an FIR under relevant charges in the matter. The action taken must be intimated to the Commission at the earliest. pic.twitter.com/4xuP8kRjyv
