Delhi Cop Vivek Bhagat's Promotion Withheld Amid Sexual Harassment Allegation

The current duty charge (CDC) of the post of additional deputy commissioner of police to Assistant Commissioner (ACP) Vivek Bhagat -- accused of sexually harassing a woman journalist during a protest against CEC Gyanesh Kumar here -- has been withheld, the Delhi government said late on Monday. A Delhi government order earlier in the day assigned CDC of additional DCP to 12 DANIPS officers including Bhagat. The proposal to confer additional duty charge to these officers was initiated on August 25, "much before the present set of events", the government said in a post X late Monday. The orders were issued after due approval on October 5.
