New Delhi, October 6, 2026:
Amid growing controversy over the alleged misbehavior with women journalists, Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena has halted the posting order granting ACP Vivek Bhagat the current duty charge of Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP).
In an official clarification issued late last night, the Delhi Government stated that ACP Bhagat himself requested not to take up the new charge until a full inquiry into the harassment allegations is completed. The original order assigning additional duties to 12 officers has now been modified to exclude him.
Read the official X Msg of LG:
"Government of NCT of Delhi order dated October 5, 2026, wherein current duty charge of the post of Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police has been assigned to 12 officers of DANIPS is being modified in respect of Shri Vivek Bhagat, ACP. The proposal to confer additional duty charge to these officers was initiated on August 25, much before the present set of events. The orders were issued after due approval on October 5, 2026. As stated in the order, the assignment of current duty charge is a temporary arrangement which confers no financial benefit, and no statutory duties of the regular incumbents can be exercised by the officers to whom current duty charge has been assigned. However, Shri Vivek Bhagat, ACP, of his own volition, has requested not to avail the current duty charge assignment, till a full enquiry has been conducted in the matter of alleged harassment of women journalists and such enquiry has been satisfactorily concluded. Accordingly, the order dated October 5, 2026, as aforesaid is being modified and will be reissued with respect to assignment of current duty charge on the eleven remaining officers."
