I remember cross examining this very officer in a POCSO matter. In a serious case of S.6 POCSO & 376D, she committed blunders. - no site plan of the crime scene - no chain of custody of the forensic material - no CCTV footage seized - no CDR/ IPDR records taken

ASI Jyoti is among the nearly 100 Delhi police personnel protesting against the force over the transfer of two officers after a scuffle with lawyers. She says, ‘the reality is that the police is always with the protesters.’ Watch till the end.

बीजेपी प्रवक्ता संबित पात्रा को लगा कि यह अर्णब गोस्वामी की डिबेट है और यहां कुछ भी बोलकर निकल जाएंगे। जिले के पत्रकार जब पत्रकारिता पर आ जाते हैं तो ऐसे ही कुर्सी छोड़कर भागना पड़ता है। मामला प्रधानमंत्री की संसदीय क्षेत्र वाराणसी का है।

Delhi: Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Manasvi Vashisht and other Delhi Police personnel gathered at Delhi Police Headquarters. ACP Manasvi Vashisht says, "We have placed our demands before the Police Commissioner. He provided us with the meeting that we had requested. However, as we had expected, not many people got the opportunity to speak openly. Nevertheless, we have conveyed our demands to him, and they are being discussed. Some matters need to be resolved today... We had a total of five demands..."

बड़ी खबर- बनारस में एसआईआर के मुद्दे पर बुरी तरह घिरे बीजेपी प्रवक्ता संबित पात्रा। काशी के पत्रकारों ने अपने धारदार सवालों से पूरी तरह घेरा। संबित पात्रा आखिर में प्रेस कॉन्फ्रेंस छोड़कर उठ गए। दिलचस्प बात ये रहा कि इस दौरान योगी आदित्यनाथ द्वारा खुद हिंदू वोटरों के नाम काटे जाने का मुद्दा भी जमकर उछला। संबित पात्रा की समझ में नहीं आया कि इसका क्या ही जवाब दें? जब उनका अपना खुद का मुख्यमंत्री ही एसआईआर में वोट काटने का रोना रो रहा है तो किस मुंह से SIR को डिफ़ेंड करें!! काशी के पत्रकारों को साधुवाद! कलम की स्याही में तर्क, तथ्य व साहस की चिंगारी भरने के लिए।

पिछले 3 महीने से प्रोटेस्टर को रोक रही दिल्ली पुलिस ही आज धरने पर बैठ गई। दरअसल, वकीलों की मांग पर एक ACP और इंस्पेक्टर का ट्रांसफर कर दिया गया। प्रदर्शनकारी पुलिसकर्मी इसका विरोध कर रहे थे। दिल्ली पुलिस जिन पत्रकारों को प्रोटेस्ट कवर करने से लगातार रोकती रही, उन्हीं ने आज ये प्रोटेस्ट कवर कर उनकी बात को प्रमुखता से उठाया।
