Lucknow, June 19: A 27-year-old Danish woman was allegedly molested while travelling in a city bus here.
State Women’s Commission has sought a report from the UP police chief and Road Transport Corporation (UPSRTC) officials over the alleged molestation of the 27-year-old from Denmark, who was working here on a research project, while commuting between Hazratganj and Indira Nagar on June 17.
Though no FIR was lodged by the woman, she wrote a letter to the Director General of Police and the SWC narrating the incident before leaving Lucknow yesterday morning, official sources said.
“The Commission has asked the DGP to ensure strict action against the guilty and sought a report from him in this regard,” State Women’s Commission Secretary AK Gupta said.
The Commission, Gupta said, has also sought a report from Chairman and General Manager of UPSRTC and suggested that conductors and drivers be trained to remain alert to such incidents.
“We have also directed the policemen to remain alert especially with the start of the new academic session,” he said.
