CRPF Director Commends Woman Officer’s Resilience After Slap Incident During CJP Protest
The Delhi Police have filed an FIR against an unidentified protester for slapping a CRPF officer near Connaught Place on Friday during the Cockroach Janta Party’s (CJP) Tiranga march. CRPF Director General GP Singh praised a woman officer, a top judo practitioner and member of the CRPF judo team, for her extreme patience, perseverance and resilience after she was heckled and assaulted by a protester. Singh noted that the force leadership had complimented her conduct and that lawful action is being taken by the jurisdictional police. Delhi Police also registered at least three FIRs against protesters for violating prohibitory orders, disrupting a flag march that affected law and order, and obstructing police duties. A nine‑second video that circulated on social media shows the woman confronting the security personnel before being slapped, with police using whistles to disperse the crowd. The police are identifying the woman responsible for the assault to pursue legal action.
