NCW’s Response to Moitra’s Remarks

The NCW had earlier taken suo motu (on its own) cognizance of Moitra’s comments and sought an FIR against her. On July 4, Moitra posted a video on social media platform X (formerly Twitter). The video showed Rekha Sharma arriving at the site of a stampede in Hathras, accompanied by a man holding an umbrella for her. Moitra’s post was later deleted.

NCW’s Demand for Action

In its complaint, the NCW stated that Moitra’s remarks were “extremely outrageous” and violated a woman’s right to live with dignity. The NCW demanded that an FIR be registered against Moitra and that a detailed action report be communicated to the Commission within three days. They also shared this demand in a post on X.

Moitra’s Response to the FIR

Responding to the NCW’s post, Moitra wrote on social media: “Come on Delhi Police, please take action immediately on suo motu orders. Am in Nadia in case you need me in next 3 days to make a quick arrest. I Can Hold My Own Umbrella.”

In summary, Mahua Moitra is facing legal trouble for her comments about NCW chief Rekha Sharma. The Delhi Police has booked her under a law meant to protect the modesty of women, and the NCW has strongly condemned her remarks. The situation is developing, and further actions by the police are awaited.
