Delhi Police Commissioner S B K Singh has suspended eight police personnel, including inspectors and sub-inspectors, due to security lapses discovered during his inspection of the ISKCON temple. These lapses occurred ahead of Janmashtami, a festival that draws thousands of devotees to the temple.
The Commissioner noticed during his visit that key security positions lacked personnel, raising concerns about the preparedness of the police force. As a result, immediate action was taken against those responsible, with reprimands issued to ensure vigilance is maintained during major events.
The Delhi Police have intensified security across the city at key locations, including temples, markets, and transit hubs, to mitigate any possible threats. Additional officers have been deployed to manage the expected increase in visitors, ensuring a safe environment during the festive season.
