The Story in Brief
Delhi Police Joint Commissioner AV Deshpande has replaced Veenu Bansal as Joint CP (Security) at Rashtrapati Bhavan. A late-night order attached Bansal, a 2004-batch AGMUT cadre IPS officer, to Delhi Police headquarters with immediate effect and until further orders, Times Now reports.
The move follows allegations of protocol violations, misuse of official facilities and a dispute with Army officers. Reports cited by Times Now allege that Bansal used the President’s Estate golf course for personal acquaintances, brought a family member to an official function and invoked the Blue Book in correspondence involving an Army officer. The report also says some Rashtrapati Bhavan staff took leave to avoid dealing with him. The allegations have not been independently established.
The Indian Opinion
The loudest narratives will either portray this as proof of unchecked privilege or dismiss it as a routine transfer. Neither is justified by allegations alone. The order gives no public finding, while the reported use of restricted facilities and the Army dispute deserve a clear account. The test is whether Delhi Police publishes the disciplinary findings and explains why the posting changed.
