Supreme Court directs priority probe into sexual assault complaints from NEET protests
The Supreme Court has directed the High-Powered Enquiry Committee (HPEC) to prioritize complaints of sexual assault against women protesters during the July 20 NEET demonstrations at Jantar Mantar. Senior advocate Shobha Gupta urged the court to take suo motu cognisance and establish a mechanism for victims to submit complaints directly. The committee, headed by former Supreme Court judge Justice R. Subhash Reddy, is expected to submit an interim report promptly. The court emphasized sensitive handling of these allegations amid ongoing investigations into police conduct during the protests.
