The AAP government today told the Delhi High Court it has disbursed Rs 15 crore for payment of compensation to victims of sexual offences and other crimes like acid attacks. The DSLSA, which processed the claims of victims, informed the court that a cheque of Rs 15 crore was received by it yesterday. On May 4 this year, the court had directed the Delhi government to disburse Rs 10 crore within seven days for granting interim compensation to victims of sexual and other offences. It had also directed the government to prepare a roster with regard to testing of DNA samples by forensic science laboratories (FSLs).
