Acting on Bollywood starlet Rakhi Sawant's complaint of sexual assault, the National Commission for Women (NCW) on Monday asked for footage of the party hosted by Punjabi pop singer Mika, who forcibly kissed her at the do.

The NCW has said that once it reviews the tape, it will explore the possibility of action against those who made light of the incident.

NCW Chairperson Girija Vyas told reporters here that TV channels have been asked to send footage of the party as they wanted to identify the guests who made fun of the incident.

Stating that the NCW was stunned by the visuals of the incident, she asserted that it was clearly a case of sexual assault.

Emphasising that every girl should take training in self-defence to deal with such situations, Vyas said had she been in Sawant's place, she would have slapped Mika then and there.

The Commission, taking cognizance of a complaint submitted by Sawant against Mika, has sought a report from Mumbai police on the action taken on an FIR lodged by the Bollywood performer in the matter.

Vyas said that it was not a matter of an individual or of Rakhi alone, it was symbolic case through which "we want to make it clear that women cannot be treated as objects."

Sawant has complained to the NCW that she was sexually assaulted by Mika, saying he "forcibly kissed" her at his birthday bash.
