Jagran Correspondent | New Delhi: In a sharp turn of events, Delhi Police revealed that three women who accused ACP Vivek Bhagat of molestation were posing as fake journalists to defame him. Officials confirmed that legal action is likely to be taken against all three accusers for making the false claims. The allegations were originally levelled during a CJP-led protest demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

Fake Video Circulated

According to officials, a fabricated picture was circulated online in a deliberate attempt to frame ACP Bhagat and defame him during the Jantar Mantar protests. During the investigation, the Delhi police found that the man made a fake video, featuring officer Bhagat molesting a woman during the Jantar Mantar protest. The fake video showed Bhagat in the protest at a time when he was not present at the site.

As the probe intensifies, the Delhi police cyber cell has arrested the man, named Nadeem Ahmed, who created the fake page on social media and spread the misinformation. The police are investigating whether the young man who created the internet media page is affiliated with the CJP or any other party.

Ahmed, who described himself as a 10th-fail independent journalist educated at a Delhi madrasa, admitted using AI tools specifically to tarnish image of the polie and encourage protesters to attack officers, becoming more active during the CJP protests.

Attempts of CJP To Defame Bhagat?

The Delhi police said that the Cockroach Janta Party has plotted against Bhagat and created a fake case against him. According to Jagran.com, during the Jantar Mantar-NEET-UG protests in In July, ACP Bhagat was brutally beaten and assaulted by the CJP members. The situation may have been worsened if DCP of the cops had not rescued him.

Following the assault, Bhagat was hospitalised for 10 days in Delhi. It is reported that the CJP once again targeted the cop amid the protest.

Mass Mobilisation Planned On October 10

As the ECI-SIR row intensifies, the CJP’s chief spokesperson, Saurav Das, said that police might arrest him, Abhijeet Dipke and others before October 10. Urging protesters to mobilise for the demonstration, Das claimed the Centre would be mistaken to believe such "dictatorial actions" could suppress their movement. “The younger generation has awakened. We appeal to everyone to continue fighting for our rights and future, with or without us,” he said.
