Delhi Police Personnel Protest Transfers of Officers After Shahdara Lawyer Clash
Around 100 Delhi Police personnel protested outside their headquarters against the transfer of ACP Manasvi Vashistha and SHO Inspector Arun Kumar following a confrontation with lawyers at Shahdara police station, where an advocate was injured. The transfers, issued on October 28, led to an indefinite lawyers' strike that ended after the officers were moved. Protesters demanded reinstatement, a meeting with the Police Commissioner, and safeguards against lawyer intimidation. The Ministry of Home Affairs suspended ACP Vashistha for leading the protest, while the Delhi bar association sought criminal action against him for alleged misconduct during the demonstration.
