Condemning the August 7 incident in which a young woman was stripped on the road in Jawaharanagar police limits by a drunk man, the National Commission for Women (NCW) has asked for a detailed report from Director-General of Police Anjani Kumar within seven days.

“NCW strongly condemns the shocking incident in Hyderabad. A young woman stripped on the road after resisting molestation, while another brave woman tried to intervene. This audacious crime raises serious concerns about law & order. NCW urges prompt investigation, medical support, and expects a detailed report within seven days from the DGP,” NCW posted on X.

The incident near Balajinagar bus stand took place around 8.30 p.m. on Sunday, after the woman slapped Pedda Maraiah, the 35-year-old accused, when he touched her inappropriately.
