Supreme Court Enables Direct Complaints on Sexual Assault Allegations from NEET Protestors
The Supreme Court of India is addressing allegations of sexual assault against women during the July 20 NEET-UG protests at Delhi's Jantar Mantar. Senior Advocate Shobha Gupta urged the court to establish a sensitive mechanism allowing women to directly file complaints with the High-Powered Enquiry Committee (HPEC), which is headed by former Supreme Court judge Justice R. Subhash Reddy. The court confirmed that women protestors can approach the committee's judicial nodal officer, and that complaints involving police abuse will receive priority attention.
