Overview
- Police say they were called to a hotel in northwest Delhi after a PCR call about a fight and that the episode occurred on Thursday around 1:30 am; officers later told reporters the claim that armed assailants were involved was baseless and the dispute was over money.
- CCTV footage circulated online reportedly shows Sub‑Inspector Himanshu questioning parties, then slapping a woman identified by police as Anshu, after which a heated confrontation broke out outside the hotel.
- Senior Delhi Police officials ordered a departmental (PG) vigilance enquiry after the video went viral and the DCP removed the sub‑inspector from active field duty and attached him to the district police lines.
- Police said the injured woman underwent a medical examination at BJRM Hospital and formal notices have been issued to all involved people to join the ongoing investigation led by the district vigilance branch.
- The case highlights how viral recordings trigger immediate administrative steps in Delhi Police, with PG enquiries used to examine conduct, pause field duties, and determine whether further departmental or criminal action is warranted.
