The NCW chief said that various types of complaints are being seen due to the lockdown. Women are unable to reach the police and they do not want to go to the police either. Because if the husband comes back from the police station, then day or two he will torture the woman again, this is a different problem. Earlier women used to leave home and reach their parents but now that option has also stopped.
