Hasan claimed that during the interaction at the DIG office, the woman became emotional and later walked out of the office feeling hurt and disappointed. The MP said she raised her voice in support of the victim and registered her protest over the handling of the matter.
During the protest, a dispute allegedly arose regarding parking arrangements at the office premises. Hasan alleged that police officials cited traffic disruption as a reason to intervene and subsequently took her to the women's police station, despite her being present in the parking area at the time.
