The Commission has sought an action taken report and copy of the FIR along with details of the accused arrested in the matter. It has asked Delhi Police and MCD to provide details by August 8, DCW statement stated.
DCW Chief Swati Maliwal stated, "A 22-year-old girl was employed by the spa by assuring her that she will be asked to massage only women. However, to her shock and disbelief, she was raped by the manager and a client. Why are illegal spas allowed to operate in Delhi? Why do the authorities fail to check the prostitution rackets running in spas? Strongest action must be taken in this matter."
