Supreme Court to Hear Pleas on Police Action and Probe in NEET Paper Leak Protests
The Supreme Court will hear pleas on Monday alleging police brutality during protests over NEET paper leaks and exam irregularities. The court has restrained states from coercive action against protesters, ordered the release of minors without criminal records, and indicated it may form a Special Investigation Team led by a former Supreme Court judge to probe violence claims. The court also directed preservation of digital evidence and allowed ongoing FIR investigations without coercive measures. A separate petition seeks accountability of protest organisers for July 20 violence.
