New Delhi: The elderly
parents of a former woman official of the Research and Analysis
Wing (RAW) Monday pleaded before the Delhi High Court to grant her
freedom and apologised for her attempt to disrobe in the courtroom
last week, following which she was taken into custody and sent for
mental check-up.
Nisha Priya Bhatia, 48, Jan 20 removed her upper garment in the
court of Justice Ajit Bharihoke around 10.45 a.m. She was
restrained by women constables. She tried to repeat the act later
in the day.
According to a court official, her parents Monday came to the
court of Justice Bharihoke and waited for almost four hours till 4
p.m. till they got an opportunity to speak in the open courtroom,
as the matter was not scheduled.
"Whatever sin Nisha has committed, was out of frustration," her
father told Justice Bharihoke, according to the court official.
Bhatia's parents pointed out that she had two daughters to take
care of - one 20-year-old and another 17-year-old.
Justice Bharihoke said his orders were passed in "goodwill" for
Bhatia. The court Jan 20 directed that she be taken into custody
for mental check-up at the Institute of Human Behaviour and Allied
Sciences (IBHAS).
Bhatia disrobed in court, creating a ruckus in the high court
after the judge adjourned the hearing on her petition against
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM) Ajay Pandey and
Metropolitan Magistrate (MM) Pritam Singh.
Bhatia, who worked in the training cell of the RAW - India's
external intelligence agency - had filed a complaint against her
bosses at the training cell, alleging sexual harassment. She also
moved the high court against lower court judges alleging that she
was harassed and humiliated outside their courts.
