Delhi High Court Upholds Police Inquiry Under Officer Accused of Slapping Protester
The Delhi High Court declined to transfer the police inquiry from Additional DCP Sandeep Lamba, who was seen slapping a woman during the Chalo Sansad protest. Justice Girish Kathpalia emphasized that allegations alone do not prove bias or guilt and stressed the importance of due process. The court noted that while the right to protest is fundamental, it does not permit damage to sovereign institutions. It upheld that Lamba is entitled to a fair inquiry and cautioned against discrediting the police based on isolated incidents.
