Delhi Police Transfers and Lawyer Strike Follow Shahdara Station Incident
Following a parking dispute at Shahdara police station on October 23 that led to an advocate's serious head injury, tensions escalated between Delhi Police and lawyers. Lawyers accused ACP Manasvi Vasishta of misconduct, including allegedly threatening them with a revolver, while police claimed lawyers disrupted official work. The conflict prompted a lawyers' strike and the transfer of ACP Vasishta and SHO Arun Kumar. Subsequently, police personnel planned a protest supporting the transferred officers, despite senior officials' efforts to prevent it. ACP Vasishta has requested an open house meeting with the Police Commissioner to discuss the incident.
