Three women journalists have formally alleged that they were sexually harassed by police officers during a protest in Delhi. The demonstration was organized to demand the resignation of Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. According to one of the journalists involved, the incident included a specific allegation of sexual assault committed by an Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) present at the scene.

The allegations have drawn attention to the conduct of law enforcement during public demonstrations. While the journalists have publicly stated their accounts of the events, the police department has not yet provided a detailed public response or confirmed the identity of the officer accused in the specific assault claim. The situation remains a developing story as the journalists seek accountability for the alleged actions taken against them while they were performing their professional duties.

Because this report relies on a single initial account, there is currently no information regarding the police department's internal investigation status or any potential counter-claims regarding the conduct of the protesters. The lack of a statement from the accused officer or the Delhi Police department leaves the narrative currently focused on the claims made by the journalists.
