NCW playing safe on Komal case?

National Commission for Women chairperson Girija Vyas has responded to criticism against the clean chit given by the NCW’s committee probing into the mid-air scuffle between Air India pilots and cabin crew, specifically Air Hostess Komal Singh who has made a sexual harassment and assault charge against captain Ranbir Arora and co-pilot Aditya Chopra.
Girija Vyas said yesterday (November 18) that the report brought out by the NCW committee was not the final report.
On Tuesday the NCW panel probing the case of Air Hostess Komal Singh's molestation charges had given the clean chit to captain Ranbir Arora and co-pilot Aditya Chopra, saying the airhostess was not 'molested' but 'physically pushed' out of the cabin out of the pilots’ concern for flight safety.
Komal Singh has formally requested the NCW for the report. Once she receives it, she, along with the members of All India Cabin Crew Association, will decide whether to approach the court or move departmentally.
On the October 3, Air India air hostess Komal Singh accused AI pilots Capt. Ranbir Arora and co pilot Aditya Chopra of molestation in a scuffle on board the Sharjah-Lucknow-Delhi IC-884 flight.
A few days later, Komal issued a complaint with the Delhi police and a panel was set up by AI to probe the incident, which derostered Komal and all others involved for the duration of the probe.
On October 30, the AI panel gave the pilots a clean chit saying Komal's charges were baseless and that the sexual harassment charge has been added as an “after thought”.
