This promotion comes despite the allegations and despite the fact that no women police personnel were present at the protest site. Three women journalists have come forward with accusations of sexual harassment during the protest, which occurred on Saturday. The Delhi Police has forwarded their complaints to the Crime Branch for a thorough investigation. The incident has sparked outrage among journalists, politicians, and media organizations, with many criticizing the police for failing to register an FIR and ensuring the safety of female reporters. The Press Club of India has expressed shock and dismay over the police's treatment of journalists, urging the Delhi Police to take immediate action on the complaint.",
