Before ending his letter, he requested LG Delhi to take action against Maliwal soon and remove her from the post for unconstitutional action. Saxena also mentioned a special court order of Thursday saying to frame the charges against the DCW chairperson and others.
The letter read, ”A special court on Thursday ordered the framing of charges against Delhi Commission of Women (DCW) chairperson Swati Maliwal and former members of the commission Promila Gupta, Sarika Chaudhary, and Farheen Malick.”
