An FIR has been filed against a woman in Delhi following allegations that she assaulted a head constable while he was on duty. The incident occurred during a routine patrol in the Safeda Jhuggi area, raising concerns about law enforcement challenges in the region.
Details of the Incident and Police Complaint
According to the complaint, Head Constable Ankur and Constable Javed were conducting a routine patrol duty on Pushta Road in Safeda Jhuggi around 8:15 PM on Sunday evening. During their patrol, they noticed Roopa, who is identified as the wife of Salman alias Kalu, a known habitual offender. The woman was reportedly accompanied by several men at the time.
The police officers stated that they began questioning the men present to maintain law and order. This action allegedly provoked Roopa, who started abusing the constables. In response, Head Constable Ankur began recording the incident on his mobile phone, which further escalated the situation.

She is accused of pushing him, tearing his official uniform, and injuring him through physical beating. The head constable emphasized in his complaint that legal action should be taken against her for these actions.
Furthermore, the complainant highlighted that the assault amounted to obstruction of a public servant in the discharge of duty, which is a serious offense under Indian law. This aspect of the case underscores the potential legal ramifications for interfering with police operations.
Background and Ongoing Investigation
In addition to the assault allegations, the police had received prior inputs suggesting Roopa's alleged involvement in drug-related activities. This background information adds another layer to the case, indicating possible connections to broader criminal networks in the area.
