Supreme Court Panel to Hear Evidence on Jantar Mantar Protest Violence in October
The Supreme Court-appointed High Powered Enquiry Committee will hold hearings on October 29 and 30 to examine allegations of pellet gun use, harassment of female protesters, excessive force, and property damage during the July Jantar Mantar protests. The five-member panel, chaired by retired Justice R Subhash Reddy, invites affected individuals to submit complaints or evidence in person or via an online portal. The proceedings aim to ensure transparency while protecting vulnerable witnesses' identities amid petitions alleging police excesses and counter-allegations of violence.
