Delhi LG’s Fresh Attack On Arvind Kejriwal Over Inaction In Medical College Harassment Case

New Delhi: New Delhi: Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena has launched a fresh attack on Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, accusing him of withholding the file of the accused in Baba Saheb Ambedkar Medical College sexual harassment case.

“Even as Delhi’s Health Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj has been crying foul over the alleged sexual harassment at Baba Saheb Ambedkar Medical College and demanding the removal of its principal, the file for his transfer has been held up for nearly 45 days by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal himself,” a release issued by the LG’s office stated.

The Delhi minister had earlier requested the LG to take action against the accused. “Saurabh Bhardwaj, in a note to LG VK Saxena on March 20, 2024, demanded the immediate removal of Ishwar Singh from his post, alleging that he was uncooperative with the girl victims in the matter and that he discouraged/demotivated them from pursuing the case further,” it further said.

While responding to the delay in removal of the main accused from the authoritative position, Saxena also questioned the “motive” of the AAP government. “But what raises serious doubts over the government’s motive is the fact that the file for the removal/transfer of Ishwar Singh from Baba Saheb Ambedkar Medical College has been pending with CM Kejriwal since February 14, 2024, as the same has to be decided by the NCCSA, which is chaired by the Chief Minister. Member Secretary (NCCSA) had also sent reminders to the CM on March 7, 2024 and March 13, 2024, but to no avail.”

This statement came amid extension of Kejriwal’s Enforcement Directorate’s custody till April 1.
