New Delhi: Has DCP (North) Jatin Narwal been sidelined after the February 22 violence at Ramjas College in which several students, professors and journalists were injured?
At least, this is what the Delhi Police's roll call for security arrangements at the Delhi University campus seems to suggest. Sources said Narwal also received a dressing-down from Delhi Police chief Amulya Patnaik at a recent crime review meeting.
Narwal was reportedly told by Patnaik that his immediate silence on the violence at Rajmas did not mean that he had "overlooked" the matter.
Events that unfolded on February 22 may be the reason why Narwal seemed to be at the periphery of the security set-up on Monday and Tuesday.
On Monday, police personnel from two districts were called in along with one platoon each from the ITBP, BSF and CRPF. An additional DCP-rank officer secured the head of the march, while joint commissioner (central) Virendra Singh Chahal and special commissioner (law and order) SBK Singh monitored the situation on ground.
Sources said Narwal was mostly seen in his car that day or was seen shadowing Chahal.
