Delhi Police attacked, 3 injured in Mukundpur incident

Three Delhi Police head constables were injured on Saturday, August 22, 2026, after a group allegedly attacked them with chilli powder, bricks, and sticks in the Mukundpur area of northwest Delhi. The confrontation occurred in Janta Vihar after the officers seized a motorcycle that lacked valid documentation, leading to an escalated clash.

The incident began around 3:30 p.m., when Head Constables Dinesh and Rajesh from the Bhalswa Dairy police station returned to their beat. The officers had earlier impounded a motorcycle under Section 66 of the Delhi Police Act and deposited it at the station. According to police, the owner of the vehicle, accompanied by his family members, confronted the personnel over the confiscation. The situation quickly turned violent as the group allegedly threw chilli powder into the officers' eyes and assaulted them with bricks and sticks.

Head Constable Tinu, who arrived at the scene to assist his colleagues, was also attacked. All three officers sustained injuries, with Head Constable Dinesh suffering a head wound. They were provided medical treatment and are now in stable condition, officials said.
