Supreme Court Directs Panel to Prioritize Sexual Assault Complaints from NEET Protests
The Supreme Court has directed the High-Powered Enquiry Committee (HPEC), established to investigate police violence during the July 20 NEET protests, to prioritize complaints of sexual assault and molestation faced by women protesters. Senior advocate Shobha Gupta urged the court to take suo motu cognisance and establish a mechanism for victims to submit complaints directly. The committee, led by former Supreme Court judge Justice R. Subhash Reddy, has been asked to submit an interim report promptly. The court clarified no separate probe is needed as the HPEC is already tasked with this responsibility.
