The Delhi government announced a new specialised unit called the ‘Pink Force’ to tackle sexual assault cases after four incidents were reported within ten days.
Delhi authorities have approved the creation of a dedicated police unit, dubbed the “Pink Force,” to focus on sexual assault investigations. The decision comes after four separate cases were reported in the capital over a ten‑day period, prompting calls for a more focused response.
The unit will operate under the Delhi Police hierarchy and is expected to include a higher proportion of women officers, specialized training, and faster case processing mechanisms. Officials said the force will also coordinate with victim‑support services to ensure timely medical and legal assistance.
While details on staffing and budget allocations are still being finalised, the move signals the administration’s intent to strengthen safety measures for women in the city. The initiative will be monitored for effectiveness and may be expanded if deemed successful.
The announcement was made by senior officials of the Delhi government, who emphasized that the “Pink Force” aims to restore public confidence and deter future crimes against women.
