Delhi Police Assistant Commissioner of Police Manasvi Vashishtha has been suspended following a protest by around 150 police personnel outside the force's headquarters. The protest was in response to the transfer of Vashishtha and another officer after a confrontation between police and lawyers at Shahdara police station. The protesting officers demanded the reinstatement of the transferred officers and the establishment of a grievance redressal committee. The dispute originated from an incident on October 23, where lawyer Lalit Bansal allegedly sustained a head injury during a confrontation at the police station. Lawyers had accused Vashishtha of threatening them and went on strike, which was later called off after the transfers. The protest on Monday saw the officers presenting five demands, including the setting up of a standard operating procedure to handle confrontations involving lawyers.
