Delhi ACP Vivek Bhagat’s promotion to additional deputy commissioner of police has been put on hold after he requested that he not take charge until an inquiry into a journalist’s sexual harassment complaint is completed. Bhagat was named in a complaint filed by a female journalist who alleged that he touched her inappropriately and pushed her during a protest at Jantar Mantar. The complaint was submitted at Parliament Street police station, but no FIR has been registered so far. Police have sent the complaint, along with 2 other allegations involving journalists, to the Crime Branch for an impartial inquiry. (PC: HT)
