The additional DCP charge given to ACP Vivek Bhagat has been withheld. The move follows a harassment inquiry against him.

Bhagat was to take on the extra charge in the New Delhi district. The order has now been put on hold.

A departmental inquiry into harassment allegations is underway. The outcome will decide the next steps.

Police officials said the decision is procedural. It does not prejudge the findings of the inquiry.

Separately, an arrest was made over an AI-generated poster case in the district. The matter is being handled as per law.

Harassment complaints in the force are taken seriously, officials said. Inquiries follow a set protocol.

Bhagat continues in his current posting. The additional charge will remain withheld till the inquiry ends.

Further orders will follow the inquiry report. The department has not set a timeline for its completion.

The case has drawn attention within police circles. Senior officers say due process will be followed in the inquiry.
