It asked the police to register an FIR immediately and arrest the accused.

"The Delhi Police has been given five days to submit a detailed action taken report to the Commission," it said. DCW chief Swati Maliwal said "Someone tagged me on Twitter the detailed audio conversation on the Clubhouse app which targeted Muslim women and girls and made disgusting sexual comments against them.
