In a bizarre turn of events, a woman in Delhi bit the Additional DCP during the ongoing protest called by the JNUSU in the national capital.

Additional DCP Ingit Pratap Singh was allegedly bitten by a woman protestor as the JNUSU march moved towards Shastri Bhawan.

The woman, yet to be identified, bit Singh on his hand.

The incident allegedly took place when a scuffle broke out between Delhi Police and the protestors on Thursday evening. Amid the chaos, a woman came up to the Southwest Additional DCP and bit him on his left thumb.

According to the police, the DCP managed to free his hand after much struggle. The police officer has been taken to a hospital for a check-up.
