Police Investigate Alleged AI Use by Protesters to Counter Crowd-Control Measures
Police investigations into the July 20 "Sansad Chalo" protest reveal that some participants may have used artificial intelligence tools to find ways to counter crowd-control measures, such as using wet jute bags to reduce tear gas effects and preparing with protective gear like hard hats and masks. Authorities are collecting digital evidence and probing the distribution of such equipment among protesters. The protest involved clashes with security forces, resulting in injuries and property damage, with police continuing their inquiry.
