Around 100 Delhi Police personnel gathered outside the police headquarters on Monday, November 2, 2026, to protest against the transfer of two senior officers following a scuffle at Shahdara police station.
The protesting personnel demanded the reinstatement of Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Manasvi Vashistha and Shahdara Station House Officer (SHO) Inspector Arun Kumar. The group included women police officers, with several protesters carrying placards and posters during the demonstration.
The transfers were ordered on October 28, following an incident at Shahdara police station on October 23. During the scuffle, an advocate allegedly sustained a head injury.
The incident triggered an indefinite strike by lawyers from district courts, who demanded action against those allegedly involved in the altercation.
The transfers of the ACP and SHO have now prompted a protest among police personnel, who are seeking the return of the two officers to their previous postings.
The situation has brought attention to tensions between police personnel and members of the legal community following the incident. However, further details about the circumstances of the scuffle and the reasons behind the protesters' demand for reinstatement were not included in the supplied report.
