The former Delhi Mayor has lodged a formal complaint against police personnel who entered his residence at midnight, claiming they were searching for a journalist. According to the ex-Mayor's account, the nocturnal raid was connected to investigations into alleged misuse of funds collected for a Ram Temple.
The timing and circumstances of the search have raised questions about the procedure followed by law enforcement. The former civic leader contends that the midnight timing was unusual and that the stated purpose of locating a journalist does not justify such an intrusive action.
The journalist in question had reportedly flagged concerns regarding the potential misappropriation of Ram Temple donations, triggering scrutiny that may have prompted the police operation. The exact legal grounds cited for the search remain unclear.
The complaint seeks departmental action against the officers involved in conducting the raid. This incident comes at a time of heightened concerns over police procedures and the protection of press freedoms in the national capital.
