Delhi Police Deploys Bodycams and Issues Guidelines Amid Protests and Allegations
Delhi Police has equipped frontline officers in New Delhi with body-worn cameras to record interactions during protests, particularly amid demonstrations over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. This initiative aims to provide evidence in cases of alleged misconduct by police or protesters. Security has been heightened with increased personnel and barricades near protest sites. Additionally, police advised journalists covering protests to carry valid ID and maintain safe distances to avoid obstructing operations. Investigations continue into complaints of harassment during recent protests.
