The National Commission for Women has registered a complaint by Delhi University student Komal Sharma against a news channel for allegedly defaming her by identifying her as one of the attackers in the violence at JNU on January 15. Sharma was described as being an activist of the ABVP.
Sharma told the NCW that she has been wrongly named as being involved in the January 5 incident and was not even approached by the said TV channel for her response or clarification on the allegations, an NCW official said.
She has requested the commission to look into the matter.
