Delhi Police Under Fire: Journalist Faces Intense Scrutiny After Harassment Allegations

In a shocking turn of events, a journalist who reported harassment by a Delhi Police Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) has been put through an exhaustive 25-point questionnaire by the Crime Branch. The questioning, as alleged by the complainant's lawyer, appeared to focus more on the journalist's personal and professional life rather than the misconduct allegations against the officer.

This troubling incident has left many questioning the priorities of the Delhi Police and the Crime Branch. Why is the focus on the victim instead of addressing the serious allegations against a police officer? Furthermore, the absence of a First Information Report (FIR) raises alarms about accountability and the safeguarding of journalistic integrity in the face of harassment.

As reported by The Hindu, the lack of formal action against the accused officer casts a shadow over the credibility of the investigation process. The Delhi Police must answer: What measures are being taken to protect those who dare to speak out against power? How can citizens trust the system when the alleged perpetrator is shielded from scrutiny while the victim is subjected to invasive questioning?
