HT had on Saturday highlighted the plight of the 22-year-old woman who has been under treatment at the civil hospital for the past five days after the suicide bid.

Before taking the extreme step, the woman had submitted a written complaint to the Haryana State Commission for Women, DCP office and at the CM Window about their alleged manhandling and mistreatment at the hands of cops posted at the Sector 25 police post.

ACP Aryan Chaudhary said, “We have received two complaints in the matter -- one lodged on December 20 and the other today. We will hold an inquiry into the matter.”

The fresh complaint has been filed by the 22-year-old woman’s mother, who stated that on December 16, when her daughter had returned from the police post, she had been repeatedly saying that she was insulted by the cops.
