Delhi Police Personnel Protest Transfers of Officers After Shahdara Incident
Following a scuffle at Shahdara police station on October 23, where an advocate sustained a serious head injury, ACP Manasvi Vashistha and SHO Inspector Arun Kumar were transferred on October 28. This led to protests by about 100 Delhi Police personnel outside the police headquarters on November 2, demanding the reinstatement of the officers and a meeting with the Police Commissioner. The transfers followed an indefinite strike by district court lawyers who had demanded action. Senior police officials urged protesters to maintain discipline and hold discussions inside the headquarters. Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu is scheduled to meet police personnel on November 3 to address concerns.
