Two Delhi Police personnel sustained injuries while conducting a detention operation near the Kartavya Path police station in the national capital. The injured officers included a member of the Pink Force, the Delhi Police's specialized all-women unit deployed for crowd management and public safety operations.
The incident occurred as police moved to apprehend protesters during what sources indicated was a routine law enforcement action. Details regarding the circumstances that led to the injuries and the exact nature of the confrontation remain unclear at this stage.
The Pink Force, established to enhance women's participation in policing and provide specialized response capabilities, has been increasingly deployed in crowd control scenarios across Delhi.
