Senior Delhi Police authorities have suspended ACP Manasvi Vashisht on Tuesday. He led the protest by Delhi Police officers at the police headquarters (PHQ) on Monday.
ACP Manasvi Vashisht and Shahdara SHO Inspector Arun Kumar were transferred after an altercation between police officers and attorneys in Shahdara. It prompted a number of police officers to assemble outside the Delhi Police headquarters the day before.
The protesting police officials first referred to the monday gathering as a “Sampark Sabha” instead of a protest. The staff sought to give their account of the October 23rd incident at Shahdara Police Station to Delhi police commissioner Anurag Kumar.
Senior officials permitted a delegation of five Police officers to access the headquarters for a meeting with the Commissioner following multiple rounds of negotiations. But the conversation didn’t address all of their issues, so the meeting went on.
