It, however, said that making public the name of a rape victim is an offence.<\/p>\n<p>The DCW counsel had sought a court-monitored probe in the matter, saying the minor had died after the incident but the police have still not invoked murder charge in the FIR.<\/p>\n<p>A charge sheet was earlier filed in the trial court after which Maliwal was summoned.<\/p>\n<p>The court was hearing a plea by the DCW for quashing the FIR lodged against its chief for allegedly revealing the identity of the minor rape victim.<\/p>\n<p>The court had questioned the DCW counsel as to how the commission could move the court for quashing of the FIR lodged against its chief.<\/p>\n<p>The minor girl had died in a hospital after a neighbour had allegedly repeatedly raped her in north Delhi&#8217;s Burari area on July 23 last year and forced a corrosive substance down her throat which damaged her internal organs.<\/p>\n<p>The police had said Maliwal circulated a notice she had sent to the area deputy commissioner of police, in which she had sought to know about the investigation in the rape case.<\/p>\n<p>The notice, which was given to the print and electronic media, had the name of the victim.<\/p>\n<p>The FIR has alleged that the notice was &#8220;intentionally circulated&#8221; on various WhatsApp groups and shown by TV channels. A news channel had held the notice before the camera during a prime-time programme aired on July 25, it has said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fullstorydivcomment\"><\/div>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Delhi High Court today stayed the proceedings against Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chief Swati Maliwal in a case of allegedly disclosing the identity of a 14-year-old Dalit rape victim who had succumbed to injuries.
