J&K’s Only AAP MLA Mehraj Malik Booked for Threatening, Abusing Woman Doctor
In a shocking turn of events, Jammu and Kashmir’s only Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA, Mehraj Malik, has been booked by the police for allegedly threatening and abusing a woman doctor. The doctor, who works at a government medical college in Doda, accused Malik of making “abusive, gendered, and derogatory remarks” against her online.
According to the police complaint, the doctor alleged that Malik threatened to drag her and strip her naked. The incident has sent shockwaves across the political circles, with many condemning Malik’s alleged behavior.
The police have registered a case against Malik under sections 354-A (making sexually coloured remarks), 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman), and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
The doctor, who has not been named, alleged that Malik made the alleged remarks against her on social media. She further claimed that despite her repeated requests to Malik to apologize and withdraw his comments, he refused to do so.
The doctor’s complaint was lodged with the Doda police station, and an investigation has been launched into the matter. The police have also recorded the doctor’s statement and are verifying the evidence provided by her.
The incident has sparked outrage among citizens, who are demanding action against Malik for his alleged behavior. Many have taken to social media to express their shock and disappointment at the MLA’s actions.
“This is unacceptable behavior from a public representative,” said a local resident. “The MLA should apologize and resign if he cannot behave like a decent human being.”
The incident has also drawn attention to the growing problem of online harassment and abuse of women in Jammu and Kashmir. The police have launched several initiatives to combat this issue, including setting up a special cell to deal with complaints of online harassment and abuse.
The AAP government in Delhi has also been criticized for its handling of the incident. Many have accused the government of failing to take action against Malik for his alleged behavior.
“This is a serious incident, and the AAP government needs to take immediate action against the MLA,” said a senior leader of the opposition party. “The government cannot afford to tolerate such behavior from its representatives.”
The incident has also raised questions about the safety and security of women in Jammu and Kashmir. The state has seen a surge in cases of violence against women in recent years, with many women reporting cases of harassment and abuse.
The police have promised to take all necessary steps to ensure the safety and security of women in the state. However, many are skeptical about the police’s ability to combat the issue effectively.
“The police have not been able to effectively deal with the issue of violence against women in the state,” said a women’s rights activist. “The government needs to take concrete steps to ensure the safety and security of women in Jammu and Kashmir.”
In conclusion, the incident of the AAP MLA, Mehraj Malik, being booked for threatening and abusing a woman doctor is a serious matter that requires immediate attention. The police need to take all necessary steps to ensure the safety and security of women in Jammu and Kashmir and hold Malik accountable for his alleged behavior.
