Delhi Police officer Vivek Bhagat has been promoted to Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police, days after a woman journalist accused him of molestation during a Jantar Mantar protest. The protest was held on October 3 over alleged irregularities in the electoral roll revision process. Delhi Police said the complaints of sexual harassment by three women journalists have been sent to the Crime Branch for an impartial inquiry. No FIR has been registered so far. Officials said Bhagat’s promotion is part of a routine, time-bound process. Eleven other DANIPS officers were also promoted. The Crime Branch will record statements and examine evidence.
