New Delhi: The Congress has shared a video on social media alleging misconduct by a Delhi Police officer during the ongoing student protests in the national capital and has demanded strict action if the allegations are found to be true.
The party claimed the footage showed a senior police officer behaving inappropriately towards a woman protester during the demonstration.
Congress seeks inquiry
In its social media post, the Congress called for the officer to be identified and removed from service, alleging that his conduct during the protest was unacceptable.
The party demanded an impartial investigation into the incident and urged authorities to take appropriate action if any wrongdoing is established.
Delhi Police yet to respond
The authenticity of the video and the allegations have not been independently verified. Delhi Police has not issued an official response to the specific claims at the time of publication.
The incident comes amid heightened political tensions over the handling of student protests linked to the alleged NEET paper leak and demands for reforms in the examination system. Both the government and the Opposition have traded allegations over the conduct of the protests and the police response.
Authorities are expected to examine the available evidence if a formal complaint is lodged or an inquiry is initiated.
