Hyderabad: A group of advocates and social activists has filed a complaint against Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar with the Balapur police, demanding action against him for disrespecting and sexually harassing a Muslim woman by pulling her hijab during a program recently.
The complaint was lodged by advocate Farheen Fatima, advocate Saneha Begum, and Shiba Minhai, Nikhat Sultana, Amera Shoukat, Tabassum Tanveer, and Dr. Ruhi Unnisa, all social activists.
In the complaint, the petitioners demanded the Balapur police book a case against Nitish Kumar. “The incident that physically occurred in Patna, Bihar, has been telecast nationally and has a direct physiological and deterrent impact on women, particularly Muslim women, residing within the jurisdiction of the police station. The victim herself has reportedly moved out of Bihar and is under severe mental trauma,” the complaint stated.
The group demanded the police book a case under Sections 74, 75, 79, 299, 296, and 3(5) of the BNS Act.
