The National Commission for Women (NCW) has taken cognisance of an alleged incident of sexual harassment at a private hospital here last month.

It has sought an action taken report into the matter. The local police and district administration are unaware of the reported incident.

The NCW, in its order issued today, asked Sangeeta Rai Gupta, director of QRG Enterprises Limited, running the QRG Central Hospital here, to report if any internal committee was inquiring the complaint lodged by a woman employee against a doctor.

It asked the hospital management to take action against the accused if found guilty and submit an action taken report to the NCW at the earliest.

The complainant had posted the complaint on Twitter recently and attached an e-mail, claiming that the hospital authorities had failed to take action against the doctor, while she was demoted.

DC Yash Pal Yadav said said he would inquire at his level. Police PRO Sube Singh said the nearest police station had been told to look into the incident.
