Alka Lamba hogs limelight from Guwahati molestation case

Bangalore, Jul 17: Alka Lamba has suddenly become the talk of the town following the controversial decision by National Commission for

(NCW) to remove her from a fact-finding team of the panel regarding the Guwahati molestation case.

Alka, a Congress leader, has been accused of revealing the name of the victim of the molestation case during a packed press conference. Taking up the matter and highlighting the lack of sensitivity, the Opposition termed the incident a violation of Supreme Court's order.

Quick to react, NCW chairperson Mamta Sharma stated, "We have removed Lamba from the team. She was one of the members of the fact-finding team. It was wrong on her part to publicise the name of the victim. That is the reason she was removed."

However, defending herself, Alka claimed, "Victim girl has called me and worried after getting the news that I have been sacked, I told her.... I have done my job with full honesty before I have sacked .... my true affords to provide the justice to the victim girl is continue till the end.."

".. as i promised her.... am ready for any kind of sacrify ... i know the facts n reality... am sorry if i hurt any one ... i mentioned the real name as per the victim request (there is a reason she gave me) and as it was already in media before I said,,, with the believe that media will beep it out rather than making it a issue.... jai hind!" added Alka while writing on a social networking site.
