Victim Rosie says, “Yesterday, during the protest involving Neha Bora, I was recording the scene as she was being detained; I noticed there were no female constables present at that moment. In my video, I questioned why there wasn’t a female constable while a woman was being detained. ACP Vivek Bhagat, who was there, looked at me and he grabbed my chest and pushed me… I grabbed his uniform and pulled him back… He continued to speak dismissively, but when he realized I wouldn’t let go, he quickly moved towards the female constables and ordered them to surround me… He fled the scene. Later, when Neha Bora was being detained again, I ran over to record the incident. I found myself standing right next to that same police officer… He instructs the female constable not to let me approach him; she then steps in to block my path… I was accompanied by other female journalists; I told them about the incident I had faced. We then tracked him down and approached him, asking him to apologize for his misconduct. He refused to apologize… We all gathered and came here to demand an FIR, citing the misconduct… No FIR has been registered, even though the law mandates that an FIR must be filed in cases of sexual harassment. My demand is that ACP Vivek Bhagat apologize on camera and admit to his actions, and that he be punished for this misconduct just as any offender should be.” — ANI (@ANI) October 4, 2026
