Delhi High Court Seeks Response on Alleged Police Excess During July 20 Protest
The Delhi High Court has issued notices to the Centre and Delhi Police seeking responses to public interest litigations alleging excessive force and brutality during the Cockroach Janata Party's July 20 protest march to Parliament. The court directed authorities to preserve all relevant records, including CCTV and body camera footage, as per standard operating procedures. Senior advocates for the petitioners cited videos showing disproportionate police action, while government representatives argued the pleas were based on social media and maintainability issues. The matter is scheduled for further hearing on September 11.
