Tehelka case: Complaint against Madhu Kishwar for leaking victim's name

Panaji: Like BJP leader Meenakshi Lekhi, social activist Madhu Kishwar may attract the ire of the National Commission for Women (NCW), with a Congress-backed students union here accusing the latter of leaking the Tarun Tejpal rape victim’s name on Twitter. National Students Union of India leader Hasiba Amin told IANS that she had filed a complaint with the NCW Saturday against Kishwar and also the Goa Police for not entertaining her complaint for nearly a week.

Her complaint demands action against Kishwar under Section 228A of the Indian Penal Code which advocates a fine and imprisonment which may extend to two years. Lekhi has been issued summons by the NCW to explain why she leaked the victim’s name through her Twitter account. Lekhi argued that her account had been hacked and that the name has since been deleted. IANS
