It was during this confrontation that the video emerged, showing Lamba allegedly slapping a woman protester who was standing at one side.The viral video has triggered strong reactions on social media, with many questioning the police’s conduct during the protest.Sandeep Lamba, Additional DCP of Delhi Police, slapped a girl in the face on camera. Is this guy is mentally stable? If he doesn’t respect a female student then he must be fired from his duty.How can a male police officer even touch a female protestor, let alone slapping her?…— Hamdullah Nasrullah (@hamd786) July 21, 2026
