Following a demonstration on October 3 in Delhi, three female journalists reported incidents of sexual harassment allegedly committed by police personnel. The complaints have prompted an administrative response, with the Delhi Police confirming that the investigation has been moved to the department's Crime Branch for further inquiry.

While the initial reports highlight the transfer of the case, there is a notable discrepancy regarding the status of the accused officers. NDTV reports that one of the officers involved in the allegations has received a promotion, a detail that has drawn significant public and media attention. The police department has not yet provided a detailed public statement regarding the specific identities of the accused or the timeline for the Crime Branch investigation. The transition of the case to the Crime Branch is typically reserved for sensitive or high-priority matters, suggesting an escalation in the official handling of the allegations. As of now, the investigation remains ongoing, and no formal charges have been publicly confirmed against the officers in question.
