A woman journalist accused Delhi ACP Vivek Bhagat of sexual harassment at an October 3 protest. An October 5 order gave him Additional DCP duties but was later withheld. The allegation, disputed police accounts and separate legal proceedings remain unresolved, raising questions about protest policing and accountability.
An October protest reel questions Delhi Police personnel whose nameplates are not visible. Police uniform rules require identification, while officers have offered conflicting explanations involving lost badges and online targeting. The unresolved question is how officers can be safely identified and held accountable during protests.
At the 16 October 2026 Tiranga March, Sanjana contrasted the heavy security deployment with her experience of sexual harassment and fear in public spaces.
