The government also notified the Centre of the request under Section 6 of the Delhi Special Police Establishment (DSPE) Act.

Divya. Ms. Divya had reportedly arrived uninvited at the function and allegedly insinuated that corrupt intent had prevented the ADM from granting a timely sanction to a private entrepreneur …
