Delhi Police have initiated an inquiry into allegations that officers sexually harassed three women journalists while they were covering demonstrations against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The complaints, which allege misconduct during a protest at New Delhi’s Jantar Mantar on Saturday, have been referred to the Crime Branch for what the police described as a “fair and impartial enquiry.”
Delhi Police Launch Probe Into Sexual Harassment Allegations Against Officers
About time. The police force needs serious cultural reform.
I hope they share the findings publicly. Self-investigation rarely satisfies the public.
Three women journalists harassed while doing their job? This is unacceptable and terrifying.
Is this the Crime Branch actually going to investigate officers, or is it just internal paperwork?
Finally, some accountability. We need transparency, not just promises of a fair enquiry.
