Bengaluru Police Register FIR Over Posters at Anti-NEET Protest
An FIR was registered by Bengaluru police against an unidentified woman who displayed posters supporting Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam during a July 24 anti-NEET protest at Freedom Park. The protest, organized by Karnataka Vidyarthi Sanghatane and attended by around 1,000 to 1,500 participants, condemned police action on students in Delhi and demanded Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation. Police allege the posters were provocative and could disturb public peace, and investigations using CCTV footage are ongoing to identify the woman.
