Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar on Saturday said the “law should take its own course”, reacting to the alleged sexual assault by Tarun Tejpal, Editor-in-Chief of Tehelka magazine.

“Anything where the dignity and security of women is compromised is something of great concern and it should not happen… I think law should take its own course and whatever needs to be done according to law must be done expeditiously,” Kumar told mediapersons here.

She was addressing an interactive session on ‘Empowerment of the people and rising violence in society – Contradictory signal for Indian Democracy’ organised by the MCC Chamber of Commerce & Industry.
