The woman who had accused Dwarahat MLA Mahesh Negi of sexual exploitation will appear in the office of the State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (SCPCR) in Dehradun along with her husband on Saturday regarding the purported DNA testing of her daughter without any permission of the authorities. The commission had sent her and her husband three summons but she failed to appeared citing various reasons. As per the third summon sent by SCPCR, the purported victim was supposed to appear on November 10 but she did not appear that day too stating in her letter to the commission that she had to go to various locations for the verification process with police in MLA Negi case. Subsequently, the commission allotted her the date of November 28 to appear in the commission so that she can make her side clear on the matter.
It is pertinent to mention here that the SCPCR sent summons to the woman and her husband on the basis of a Nainital based lawyer’s complaint who stated in his complaint letter that the said woman has stated on several platforms that she had done DNA test of her daughter and her husband but it did not match as the husband is not the biological father of the child. Stating that it is illegal to do DNA testing of a child without the permission of the authorities, the complainant has asked the child commission to take action in this matter.
