Probe ordered against DCP over 'threat' to protesters

A Delhi court on Tuesday directed the examination of Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Ved Prakash Surya, following allegations that he had warned protesters, stating, "If you do not stop this protest, consequences will follow, and you will be killed."

The directive came as the court ordered further investigation into the alleged involvement of BJP leader and Delhi Minister Kapil Mishra in the 2020 North-East Delhi riots.

The judge emphasised that Surya's personal interrogation was necessary, noting, "The sequence of events suggests that if the complainant's allegations hold merit, then DCP Ved Prakash Surya may possess information that has not yet come before this Judiciary."
