Delhi: UPSC Coach Alleges Assault by Trainee IPS Officer at Wedding, Video Goes Viral

UPSC Coach Alleges Assault:A cross-complaint was filed at Kapashera police station after a 2023 batch IPS trainee and UPSC coach got into a heated argument which turned violent at a wedding, police said on Sunday.

Vikas Dhayal, a Rajendra Nagar resident and UPSC coach alleged that on December 6, at a wedding at Mahak Tala Farms, IPS trainee Rahul Balhara hit him on the head with a whiskey glass and he fell.Dhayal shared a video purportedly showing the assault, including images of his face and clothes drenched in blood.

Expressing his outrage on social media platform X, Dhayal wrote, “This is what one year of IPS training teaches you: getting drunk on power, assaulting people without consequence.” He further alleged that Balhara, after clearing the UPSC exam, engaged in similar violent behavior.

Despite filing a complaint with the police, Dhayal claimed no FIR was registered. He accused cops of acting only after his social media post went viral. In a subsequent post, he wrote, “Delhi Police did not take action against Rahul Balhara despite having clear CCTV evidence. Instead, they filed a complaint against me, though I didn’t touch anyone.”

Dhayal has also been served a notice by the cops to join the investigation after Balhara filed a complaint. Advocates Anshul Kumar and Pranjal, who are representing Vikas Dhayal, told this newspaper that the police are trying to coax Dhayal to withdraw his complaint by implicating four other persons. “We filed our complaint before Balhara did, yet the police registered Balhara’s complaint first and served notice to Dayal to join the probe,” said Anshul.

Anshul also said that Balhara and Dhayal knew each other since their college days and Balhara had allegedly assaulted others even before he became an IPS officer.

Police said no FIR has been filed yet but an investigation has started after complaints from both sides.

“We are reviewing the CCTV footage of the incident. Preliminary information indicates that a dispute occurred between two persons, during which one person struck the other with a glass. We have received complaints from both sides, and both are currently being investigated,” a senior police officer said.

Last month in a similar incident in Gurugram, a 28-year-old man died after he and the attacker got into a drunken fight which turned into an assault.
