Delhi LG Clarifies ACP Vivek Bhagat's Temporary Duty Charge as Routine Upgrade, Not Promotion
The Delhi Lieutenant Governor's office clarified that the recent police order assigning ACP Vivek Bhagat the current duty charge of Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) is a routine post upgrade, not a promotion. Bhagat, accused of misbehaving with a woman journalist during a protest, retains his ACP rank without additional pay or seniority. The temporary arrangement applies to 12 DANIPS officers and will end once regular Additional DCP posts are filled by the Ministry of Home Affairs.
