Delhi High Court refuses to stay probe against woman scribe in SC/ST Act case filed by ACP
The Delhi High Court has declined to stay the investigation in a case filed against a journalist by a police officer over alleged casteist remarks and public humiliation during a protest. Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Vivek Bhagat filed the complaint against the journalist. The court issued a notice to the Delhi Police and ACP Bhagat, asking them to file their replies before November 16.
The journalist's lawyer claimed that the FIR was lodged to intimidate her from pursuing the complaint. The case is being investigated by the Delhi Police Crime Branch.
