Delhi ACP Faces Harassment Allegations and Separate Fake-Video Probe
Vivek Bhagat is a Delhi police officer.
Three women complained about three officers after a protest, and one complaint names Bhagat.
One woman says he treated her badly and pushed her.
The police Crime Branch is investigating those complaints.
Police also say a man named Nadeem Ahmed made and shared a fake AI video about Bhagat, and Ahmed has been arrested.
These are separate cases, and the video investigation is still continuing.
Bhagat says he will wait for the complaint investigation to finish before taking an additional police job.
His assignment to that job has been put on hold.
Three women complained about three police officers after an October 2 protest outside Sansad Marg police station; one complaint names ACP Vivek Bhagat.
The Delhi Police Crime Branch is investigating the complaints, which include an allegation that Bhagat treated a woman journalist inappropriately and pushed her.
Police say Nadeem Ahmed was arrested for allegedly making and circulating an AI-generated fake video of Bhagat; investigators are examining whether others were involved.
Bhagat was previously injured during a June 2026 protest and later returned to his role as ACP of the Connaught Place sub-division.
After an October 5 order assigning him an Additional DCP current duty charge drew questions, Bhagat said he would not take the role until the investigation concluded, and the assignment was put on hold.
