A fight broke out between a 2023-batch trainee IPS officer and a UPSC coach at a wedding in southwest Delhi's Kapashera area.According to the police on Sunday, the incident took place on December 6 and resulted in both sides filing complaints at the local police station.
Vikas Dhayal, a Rajendra Nagar resident and a civil services coach, said that the trainee officer struck him on his head with a glass. No immediate reaction was available from the officer.
"We are checking the CCTV footage of the entire incident. Initially, we got to know that there was some issue between two people and one of them hit another with a glass. We have received two different complaints. Both complaints are under investigation," a senior police officer said.
Dhayal shared a video on X, purportedly showing the assault, including images of his blood-smeared face and clothes.He alleged that police refused to file an FIR first, and only relented when his post went viral. “The police didn’t take any action on my complaint on a life-threatening attack by IPS trainee Rahul Balhara, visible on cctv clearly. But, now after the twitter post, the “upright” Delhi Police lodged a complaint against me, when I didn’t lay a finger anyone,” he said in a post on X.
