Delhi Police Chief Bs Bassi

Delhi Police chief Alok Verma was named as the next head of the Central Bureau of Investigation or CBI today for a two-year term. The selection comes in the wake of a huge controversy over the appointment of Gujarat officer RK Asthana as the acting chief of the agency in December, which was challenged in court by lawyer-activist Prashant Bhushan.

Some senior Delhi Police officers have been instructed to use their official Twitter handles more judiciously, avoiding posting opinions and retweeting articles not related to policing.

Former Delhi Police Commissioner BS Bassi has been appointed to the Union Public Service Commission, the central body that is in charge of civil services exams.

Outgoing Delhi Police Chief BS Bassi said today that it is a "misunderstanding" that the Delhi Police works under political pressure.

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia today alleged that Delhi Police had "orchestrated" the February 17 incident at the Patiala House court complex in which Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union (JNUSU) president Kanhaiya Kumar and journalists were beaten up and demanded action against police chief BS Bassi.

Days after saying he would not oppose JNU student Kanhaiya Kumar's request for bail, Delhi Police chief BS Bassi has changed his stand. Explaining his volte face, he said today: "The circumstances have changed completely."

JNU student Kanhaiya Kumar was present with a group shouting anti-national slogans and indulging in anti-national activities on campus, the police have said a report defending his arrest. The police are likely to oppose the student's bail in the Delhi High Court, though police chief BS Bassi had said the opposite.

Five JNU students accused of sedition and missing for days are back on the campus but they haven't been arrested. The students say they are ready for arrest but the police, who have not been allowed to enter the campus, say the students must surrender.

Days before Delhi Police Commissioner BS Bassi's retirement, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) today demanded that he be sacked and charged that his loyalty was not to the police force, but to the RSS.

A petition filed in Delhi High Court today accused city police commissioner BS Bassi of "influencing" the probe in the sedition case against JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar and alleged that the police chief was "playing at the hands" of certain political parties.

The controversial Delhi Police Chief BS Bassi has been removed by the government from the list of contenders for a senior role in the county's top anti-graft agency, said sources today.

Policing the world's largest democracy of over a billion people with myriad castes, creed, colour, language, age, gender, beliefs, status, needs, history is like striving to win a "Mahabharata" almost daily.

Senior IPS officer Alok Kumar Verma will be the new Police Commissioner of Delhi, succeeding BS Bassi who retires on February 29.

Hours after Kanhaiya Kumar was attacked while being taken by the police into a Delhi court, Police Chief BS Bassi told NDTV that he would not oppose bail for the 28-year-old student, whose arrest on sedition charges has been the top national headline for days.

While you may fail to ensure the safety of ordinary people in Delhi, I've told my mother I'm not taking that flight back home just yet.
