NEW DELHI : The Delhi Police Thursday issued notice to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his “women are still being sexually assaulted” remark made in Kashmir during his Bharat Jodo Yatra in January.

They are ready to take legal action against the offenders but have not received any complaint so far, the officials added.
Taking cognisance of social media posts, they have sent a questionnaire to the Congress leader and asked him to give details about women who approached him regarding sexual harassment, the officials said.
