Delhi govt modifies Addl DCP charge order after ACP Vivek Bhagat opts out amid harassment inquiry<\/span><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

NEW DELHI: The Delhi government has modified an administrative order assigning the current duty charge (CDC) of Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Addl DCP) to 12 Selection Grade DANIPS officers, removing Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Vivek Bhagat from the arrangement after he voluntarily sought to step aside pending an inquiry into allegations of harassment of women journalists.The government said on Monday that Bhagat had requested not to take up the additional charge until the inquiry into the allegations was completed.\u201cVivek Bhagat, ACP, of his own volition, has requested not to avail the current duty charge assignment, till a full enquiry has been conducted in the matter of alleged harassment of women journalists and such enquiry has been satisfactorily concluded,\u201d the Delhi government said in a post on X.\u201cAccordingly, the order dated October 5, 2026, as aforesaid, is being modified and will be reissued with respect to assignment of current duty charge on the eleven remaining officers,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n

Order issued before allegations surfaced<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

The Delhi government clarified that the administrative process for assigning the additional duty charge had begun well before the allegations against Bhagat emerged.\u201cThe proposal to confer additional duty charge to these officers was initiated on August 25, much before the present set of events. The orders were issued after due approval on October 5,\u201d the government said.Earlier on Monday, Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu had approved the assignment of CDC of the Addl DCP post to 12 DANIPS officers serving in the Delhi Police with immediate effect. Bhagat, who is currently posted as Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) of Connaught Place, was among those named in the order,.The government also stressed that the CDC arrangement was temporary and did not amount to a regular promotion.\u201cAs stated in the order, the assignment of current duty charge is a temporary arrangement which confers no financial benefit, and no statutory duties of the regular incumbents can be exercised by the officers to whom current duty charge has been assigned,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n
