Ms. Lalita Kumaramangalam,
Hon'ble Chairperson,

National Commission for Women

Dear Madam Chairperson,

Sub: Case / File no : 8/C160014050/2016/NCW/RS/NEE

I am grateful for the kind audience the Hon'ble Commission, by its Chairperson, granted me on 8.Sept.2016 concerning the above-cited matter after Shri Ashutosh had left.

It is most unfortunate that Shri Ashutosh, who was in a highly agitated state, chose to convert the Commission's serious business into a political farce, and even went to the extent of refusing his counsel's presence during proceedings requiring his counsel Shri Somnath Bharti Adv. to cool his heels in the reception area along with me.

I briefly summarise my additional oral pleadings in my cause so as to assist the Hon'ble Commission in arriving at its decision.

FACTS:

1) That one Shri Sandeep Kumar, an advocate and Cabinet Minister for Women and Child Development in the Govt of NCT Delhi appears to have recorded (ie. 'captured') a sex video of depicting criminal acts of disgusting and unnatural (ie. oral and anal sex, termed as fellatio, sodomy, buggery punishable u/s 377 IPC) sexual intercourse between himself and a woman.

2) That when the sex video with its recordings of unnatural sexual acts reached Shri Arvind Kejriwal (Chief Minister of Delhi), he promptly attested to its veracity and the identity therein of his hand-picked Cabinet Minister colleague Shri Sandeep Kumar as a participant therein, by immediately dismissing the offender from his Cabinet. By Shri Kejriwal's action I therefore have good cause to believe that it is indeed Shri Sandeep Kumar depicted in the video being thereafter circulated via internet and social media and portions of which were also broadcast on TV news channels.

3) That Shri Arvind Kejriwal, a public servant, did not report or forward the sex video (evidence) of the criminal acts committed by his corrupt Cabinet Minister in his possession to the Police Officer or nearest Magistrate as he is duty bound to do. Instead Shri Kejriwal first privately circulated the highly obscene sex video to his Aam Aadmi Party spokespersons for damage control and perception management.

4) Accordingly Shri Ashutosh (National Spokesperson AAM AADMI PARTY) on accessing a copy of the sex video from Shri Arvind Kejriwal proceeded to publish the impugned highly scandalous, irresponsible and misogynistic article on the news website NDTV.COM which is grossly demeaning and derogatory to Indian women in general and against my family specifically. I say that this NDTV.COM article which has offended a great many people was written and published solely for the purpose of aiding and abbeting and preventing the Delhi Police and other law enforcement agencies from promptly arresting Mr. Ashutosh's party's Minister and to obstruct the criminal investigation.

5) That the sexual acts recorded in the said video perpetrated against the woman in the sex video captured by Shri Sandeep Kumar are so filthy and disgusting that the poor woman was repeatedly caused to wipe off the penile fluid discharged by Shri Sandeep Kumar into her unprotected mouth in an attempt to mitigate his possible sexually transmitted infections. It is pertinent to mention that the video shows Shri Sandeep Kumar then induced the woman to place a condom on his male member before the woman was made to perform further certain unnatural sexual acts atop him.

6) In these circumstances, any reasonable person would denounce the actions of Shri Ashutosh and NDTV.COM for persistently publishing information which they know to be false, for the purpose of causing obstruction, insult, injury, criminal intimidation, enmity, hatred, or ill will, by making  use of computer resource/s or communication device/s, They are both in criminal collusion to commit cyber offences with Shri Sandeep Kumar who is already charged / arrested for cyber crimes concerning the videography and circulation of his sex video.

7) That on 8 Sept 2016 Shri Ashutosh and NTDV.COm has published another article titled as "I Am Setting The Record Straight On My NCW Meeting" accessible at URL : http://www.ndtv.com/opinion/what-i-argued-about-with-ncw-chief-1456352  making certain allegations against this Hon'ble Commission. Accordingly also, I am complaining that Shri Ashutosh and NDTV.COM are persistently publishing information, which they know to be false, for the purpose of causing annoyance, obstruction, insult, injury, criminal intimidation, enmity, hatred, or ill will, by making use of their computer resource/s or communication device/s.

8) That I personally witnessed Shri Ashutosh (immediately after leaving the NCW premises on 8.Sept.2016) and his party members and MLAs also created public disorder and attempted to incite a mob against the NCW outside the NCW premises.

9) That the Delhi Police is already seized of some aspects of the matter, since a woman representing herself to be the victim in the sex video has approached the police and the ex-Minister was arrested based on her information.

In these circumstances, I am regretfully constrained to make additional prayers as follows to this Hon'ble TRIBUNAL:-

PRAYERS:

A) That Shri Ashutosh, Shri Arvind Kejriwal (Chief Minister Delhi), and M/s NDTV.COM be issued notice by the Hon'ble Commission to reply to my complaint and this additional communication,

B) That in the alternative, that my complaint be directly forwarded to the Commissioner of Police / Delhi Police to initiate action against all the persons specified in my prayer "A" above for their several offences and conspiracies (as the conspirators of Shri Sandeep Kumar) punishable under Information Technology Act and (Indian Penal Code) IPC as cognisable offences.

C) That the Central Govt may be kindly directed to immediately block the website of NDTV.COM u/s 69A of Information Technology Act for maintaining public order and for preventing further commisison of the cognisable offence/s such as I have described above.

sincerely

Dear Madam Chairperson,

1)  I would be obliged if you would kindly also include / implead me in the subject matter as a complainant against Shri Ashutosh Gupta (alias Ashutosh). I also pray that M/s NDTV.com be impleaded as an offender.

2)  My grievance is that Ashutosh and NDTV.com has published offensive, inaccurate, misleading, abusive, pedophilic, hateful, ethically objectionable, disparaging, or otherwise inappropriate material in the article accessible at
"http://www.ndtv.com/opinion/the-sex-was-consensual-private-act-why-aap-punished-its-man-1453374"
where Ashutosh has written inter-alia

"Indian history is full of examples of our leaders and heroes who had lived with their desires beyond social boundaries. Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru's reported affairs with many female colleagues were juicy gossip but it didn't spoil his political career. His relationship with Edwina Mountbatten is widely discussed. The entire world knew about it. Their affections continued till Pt. Nehru's last breath. Was it a sin? History is also witness to the fact that top leaders of the Congress in 1910s were worried about Gandhiji's relationship with Sarla Chaudhary, who was distantly related to Rabindra Nath Tagore. Gandhi Ji had confessed that Sarla was his spiritual wife. Kasturba Gandhi was very disturbed. C Rajagopalchari and other senior leaders of the party had to intervene. They persuaded, pressured, cajoled Gandhi-ji to leave Sarla. Gandhiji in his later days slept naked with his two nieces to experiment with celibacy. Pandit Nehru had told him not to do so as the country would rise against him but Gandhi-ji did not budge."

3) That although there was no such person as "Sarla Chaudhary" as described (which is probably a patently deliberate device devised by Ashutosh to claim she is a fictional character) it is obvious he is alluding to my deceased great-grand-aunt Sarala Debi Chaudhurani (who unfortunately has left behind no direct descendants to counter Ashutosh's calumny) using the despicable device of innuendo employed by gutter columnists.

4) I and my family are upset that NDTV.com website has published Ashutosh's distortions linking Mohandas Gandhi's sexual (masturbatory) fantasies to my deceased family members names to besmirch their iconic places in history. It is relevant to mention that Smt. Sarala Debi Chaudhurani is the pre-eminent feminist icon of India, prominent in nationalist and Congress circles and had written the musical score for both India's National Antem (ie. Jana Gana Mana) as well as the National song (ie. Bande Mataram). In fact these nation binding anthems were greatly popularised in Upper India by Smt. Sarala Debi of the highly nationalistic Adi Brahmo Samaj (a religious minority) of which I am an 'acharya' and an attack on Smt. Sarala Debi or Gurudev Rabindra Nath Tagore simply to defend a misogynistic sex-crazed rapist Minister is also an attack on our minority religion.

5) For your Eminence's information, Gandhi was never in India in 1910 (or even 1911, 1912, 1913....) whereas Pulitzer-Prize winning reporter Joseph Lelyveld writes that Gandhi was then (ie. since 1908) in a homo-erotic relationship with Hermann Kaltenbach in South Africa. Please see the ABC TC (US) url
http://abcnews.go.com/Health/gandhi-book-claims-indian-leader-bisexual-racist/story?id=13255847

Accordingly, I say that if at all the Congress Party or Ms. Kasturba Gandhi ('Ba') was very disturbed with Mr. Gandhi in 1910s, it was because of Mr. Gandhi's homo-erotic activities and homosexual / pedophilic proclivities rather than any alleged relationship (sexual or otherwise) with Smt. Sarala Debi Chaudhurani.

6) Accordingly, I sincerely hope that Hon'ble Commission impleads me as a complainant and strongly indicts Shri Ashutosh Gupta and NDTV.com. I also seek permission to submit my evidence during proceedings as and when directed by your honor.

PS : I am a non-political person and am filing this in my personal capacity as a relative of Smt. Sarala Debi Chaudhurani (deceased) to defend her honour.

Sincerely,

Sarbajit Roy
