Calls for Policing Reforms After Delhi Protest Violence and Mumbai Police Comparison
Following violent clashes during the July 20 protest led by the Cockroach Janata Party in Delhi, questions arose about the Delhi Police's handling of the event, including use of force against students. Former IPS officer Kiran Bedi called for reforms in protest policing to prevent such violence. Comparisons were drawn to the Mumbai Police's management of the 2025 Maratha agitation, where restraint and strategic planning helped avoid violence despite large disruptions. The incidents highlight ongoing challenges in balancing crowd control and civil rights during protests.
