Shake-up at topmost level of Delhi police likely

April 20, 2013 14:24

Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde today hinted that there may be a shake-up at the topmost levels in the Delhi police in the wake of recent incidents, including protesters entering his house and their conduct against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

Talking to reporters in Rashtrapati Bhawan, Shinde said he is closely looking at the recent developments and some action may be in the offing. Asked if recent reports of Delhi police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar's likely removal were true, Shinde said, "I have ordered an inquiry into the two recent incidents- what happened to Mamata Banerjee at the planning commission and the case of some people entering my house. Action will be taken against those found responsible for it."

However, he did not specify who will face action and said he will wait for the inquiry report.
