Delhi Police Officer Sandeep Lamba Faces Scrutiny Over Slapping Incident at Protest
Video footage from a protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar shows Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Sandeep Lamba slapping a woman protester, raising questions about police conduct. Protesters have accused the officer of excessive force during the crackdown. While some argue that any injury to the officer warrants legal action, critics emphasize that the uniform represents public duty, not personal retaliation, and question why no action has been taken against Lamba.
