quoted the woman as

saying in her complaint.

When the MLA arrived at
the oice around 12 noon, he
allegedly hurled expletives
at the woman and pushed
her by her chest, almost
causing her to fall.
In her complaint, the
woman has expressed fear
for her life from the MLA.
Discrepancies
Mr. Jarwal, however, has
alleged there were several
discrepancies in the woman s complaints to the L-G
and then to the police.
The MLA said that he did
meet the woman at the inauguration of the DJB oice in
GK, but it was on June 3 and
not June 2 as claimed by the
complainant.
The woman requested
me for water tankers in her
area and I assured her that I
would do my best. TV journalists were present there
during the inauguration ceremony. Had I misbehaved
with the woman, their cameras would have captured it,
the MLA said.
Mr. Jarwal claimed that in
her complaint to the L-G, the
woman alleged that he had
only verbally abused and
threatened her.
But in her statement to
police, she has alleged that I
pushed her. If any woman in
my constituency comes forward to say that I have misbehaved with them, I will
quit politics, the MLA said.
The police, meanwhile,
appeared to be treading cautiously. Their decision to arrest Mr. Mohaniya in the
midst of a presser had come
under severe criticism. We
are probing the allegations
against Mr. Jarwal. No decision has been taken on arresting him, said an oicer.
