Following a recent rape case in Kalkaji, 22 Border Security Force personnel have been deployed to patrol Nehru Park, located in Delhi’s diplomatic enclave, to enhance security for visitors.
Delhi police, in coordination with the Border Security Force (BSF), have positioned 22 BSF personnel to monitor Nehru Park, a green space situated within the city’s diplomatic quarter. The move comes in the wake of a high‑profile rape case reported from the nearby Kalkaji area, which raised concerns about the safety of women and other park visitors.
The BSF team will conduct regular foot patrols and maintain a visible presence throughout the day and evening hours. Officials said the deployment is a temporary measure aimed at restoring public confidence and deterring any potential threats.
Local authorities have also stepped up CCTV surveillance and increased police patrolling in surrounding neighborhoods. While the investigation into the Kalkaji incident continues, the additional security is intended to reassure residents and commuters that the area remains safe for recreation.
No further incidents have been reported since the BSF deployment, and officials have urged the public to cooperate with security personnel and report any suspicious activity promptly.
