Mangalore, August 16: The National Commission for Women (NCW) has still not received the ATR it demanded from the Director General of Police, Karnataka, on the homestay attacks, said Shamina Shafiq, member of the Commission.
She is in Mangalore as part of her visit to carry out an inquiry into the attack on students by Hindutva activists at Morning Mist homestay in Padil.
Speaking to mediapersons, Ms. Shafiq said that the incident was unfortunate and that the Commission had demanded an ATR (Action Taken Report) from the office of the Director General of Police, Karnataka, but is yet to receive it.
Denying that the National Women's Commission has acted late, Ms. Shafiq said that the State Women's Commission has to be allowed to conduct an inquiry first. She however, chose not to comment on the report submitted to the state government by C Manjula, the State Women's Commission chief and said that her Commission will probe the matter separately. Ms. Shafiq however mentioned that the male victims had told her that Ms. Manjula had not even spoken to them.
The NWC wants to carry out a comprehensive inquiry, Ms. Shafiq said. “I have already spoken to two victims and I will speak to the others too. We will speak to each victim and visit the spot of attack. I will be in Mangalore till tomorrow and a complete report on the attacks would be prepared and submitted to the NCW Chief”, she said.
