What happens when an IPS trainee from the Tripura cadre smashes a whiskey glass on your head in Delhi, for sadistic pleasure?

Here’s the sequence of events:
1.6th December, 10:50 PM: The attack takes place at a wedding venue in Kapashera, Delhi.
2.10:57 PM: A PCR call is made as I’m rushed to the hospital.

2.Until around 4 AM, I’m at a hospital in Gurugram receiving treatment. ASI Basant Kumar from Kapashera Police Station arrives as the Investigating Officer (IO) following the PCR call. He speaks privately with the doctor in what feels like a coercive manner, and I’m then taken to the police station.

Hoping for an FIR, I go along willingly.

3.ASI Basant Kumar drafts a complaint on plain paper but doesn’t provide a DD number or anything official. Instead, he asks me to return the next day for the FIR.

The following day, I visit the wedding venue and manage to retrieve the CCTV footage from the guard.

4.I record a video showing that the police did not seize any evidence.

Later that evening, I visit the police station and ask ASI Basant to collect the evidence from me and register an FIR.

His response? “I have a wedding to attend. Come back tomorrow.”

5.I tell ASI Basant that I have evidence and will post it online if an FIR isn’t registered. His reply? “Do whatever you want.”

That evening, I share the CCTV footage on Twitter showing Rahul Balhara attacking me alongside a few others. The post goes viral.

6.Within minutes of my Twitter post going viral, SI Sachin Deswal calls me, asking me to come to the police station immediately. This time, it’s for a complaint—not against my attacker, but against me for allegedly assaulting him.

I ask him to send me a formal notice, and within half an hour, he does.

7.The next day, my four friends who took me to the hospital and I are called to the police station. The pressure begins—first to delete the Twitter post, then to withdraw the complaint.

Until 5 PM, the police try everything, warning us that keeping the post up could jeopardize my friends’ careers.

8.I stand my ground and insist on an inquiry, confident that I’ve done nothing wrong and will fully cooperate.

That evening, I share the update online. In response, I’m handed a weak NCR (not an FIR) under Section 323 of the CRPC—meant for minor acts of dhakka-mukki.

9.Over the next few days, I face direct and indirect threats but refuse to back down. I compile the evidence onto pen drives and submit them to the DCP and CP of Delhi Police, invoking Section 154(3) of the CrPC to demand the registration of an FIR.

10.Despite my request, no FIR is filed. However, a few actions are taken that seem to favor the assaulter, trainee IPS Rahul Balhara:
Sachin Deswal, a friend of Balhara, is appointed as the Investigating Officer (IO) of the case.
12.The SHO of Kapashera is transferred.11.SI

11. Taking the relevant legal action my x lawyer @ADV ANSHUL_K files a petition on 24th December 2024 to the Magistrate to register an FIR.
This much time was needed before going to the Judicial Magistrate, I am told by @ADV_ANSHUL_K as per SC judgement.

No hopes from @ DelhiPolice as they are in complete hand in glove with one of their own.
I am looking forward to a court action to get an FIR and Justice no matter how long it takes.
Will use every remedy available under the law to get justice.
If anything happens to me or my close ones during the course of my legal action, Rahul Balhara, IPS trainee of 2023 Batch must be held responsible.
