Delhi Police Defends Use of Force During NEET Protest at Jantar Mantar
Delhi Police defended its use of lathi-charge and tear gas during Cockroach Janta Party-led protests over NEET irregularities, stating force was a last resort after repeated warnings and barricade breaches. Permission was granted only for a sit-in at Jantar Mantar, not for a march towards Parliament. Police said the protest remained peaceful within permitted limits until some protesters attempted to enter high-security zones, prompting a restrained and calibrated response to maintain order.
