A woman journalist, who had earlier leveled allegations of sexual harassment against a Delhi Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), is now the subject of a criminal case herself. Police have registered a case against the journalist under the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, a law designed to protect marginalized communities from discrimination and abuse.

This legal action follows the journalist’s initial complaint against the ACP, which had previously brought the officer under scrutiny. The registration of the SC/ST Act case against the accuser suggests a counter-complaint or a legal response initiated by the officer or his associates. As of now, the specific details regarding the incident that triggered the SC/ST Act charges remain limited, and the police investigation into both the original harassment claim and the new charges is ongoing. The situation highlights a complex legal standoff where both parties are now embroiled in criminal proceedings against one another.
