Delhi High Court Considers Broader Petition on Police Surveillance of Protesters

Analysed 28 Jul 2026·2 sources analysed·Crime
Delhi High Court Considers Broader Petition on Police Surveillance of ProtestersPreviousNext

The Delhi High Court is set to hear a petition filed by former JNUSU president Aishe Ghosh alleging police surveillance of protesters at Jantar Mantar. The court suggested filing a broader petition to examine legal guidelines on protest surveillance, as the Centre argued the original plea became infructuous after the protest ended. The petitioner seeks safeguards against surveillance and destruction of collected data. The court encouraged a fresh, general plea to address these issues, with further hearings scheduled.
