Punjab Cops Seek Time on Delhi Assembly Notice in Atishi Case
The Delhi Assembly had a meeting where they passed some important rules and talked about many things.
They also remembered people who passed away.
Some members were suspended for not following the rules.
There was a big argument because someone said something offensive about Sikh leaders, and the Assembly is checking the facts.
The meeting was mostly peaceful, but some people didn't behave well and were punished.
Now, some police officers from Punjab have asked for more time to explain why they used a video from the Assembly in a legal case.
The Assembly says the police shouldn't have used the video without permission, but the police say they checked the video and it was changed to make it look bad.
Both sides are arguing about who is right.
Punjab Police officers sought 10 days to respond to a breach-of-privilege notice from the Delhi Assembly regarding the use of Assembly footage in an FIR.
The Delhi Assembly issued the notice after the Punjab Police registered an FIR using a video clip from Assembly proceedings, alleging it was manipulated.
The Punjab Police's forensic report concluded the video was manipulated and Atishi did not utter the word 'Guru' or 'gurus'.
The Delhi Assembly viewed the FIR as a violation of its privileges and an infringement on the House's dignity.
The initial 48-hour response deadline was extended to 72 hours, with the officers requesting an additional 10 days to respond.
