Supreme Court Upholds Panel Probing Police Actions in July CJP Protests
The Supreme Court has declined to reconstitute the five-member High-Powered Enquiry Committee (HPEC) investigating alleged police excesses during the July Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) student protests in Delhi. The court described objections to the panel as conjecture and premature, emphasizing the committee's role in conducting a fair, transparent, and dispassionate inquiry. The HPEC has been directed to prioritize examining pellet gun use, targeted violence and harassment of female protesters, injuries to police personnel, and property damage, while ensuring protection and confidentiality for vulnerable witnesses.
