A senior Delhi Police officer, Sandeep Lamba, has been removed from all security-related duties in New Delhi and sent back to his parent posting in the North East district following a controversy over alleged misconduct during student protests.Videos surfaced on social media showing Lamba interacting with protesters, including an incident where he allegedly slapped a woman protester.

While Lamba had previously been promoted as a champion of women's empowerment in his home district, his actions during the recent protests sparked public backlash.

The officer was temporarily deployed to supervise security for the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest march towards Parliament, which led to clashes with protesters.

Police authorities confirmed his removal from duty due to the controversy and social media videos, though no formal disciplinary action has been announced.Lamba could not be reached for comment, and the Delhi Police spokesperson did not respond to inquiries.

The incident highlights tensions between law enforcement and protest groups, with critics accusing the police of excessive force during the demonstrations.
