In a curious intersection of law enforcement and hospitality, a cup of tea might have softened a standoff between Delhi Police and Himachal Pradesh authorities last week in Shimla.
Tensions were high after the Delhi team arrested three Youth Congress activists, creating a deadlock that saw accusations of obstruction and jurisdictional overreach.
Only after a nightlong impasse, sharing a seizure memo, and diplomatic dialogue did the teams find resolution and let Delhi officers return with the activists. Experts critique communication lapses and the mishandling of local procedures for the debacle.
