Supreme Court Seeks Reports as Enquiry Panel Receives Few Complaints on July 20 Protests
The Supreme Court-appointed High-Powered Enquiry Committee (HPEC) investigating the July 20, 2026, protests led by the Cockroach Janta Party at Jantar Mantar has received very few complaints, limiting its ability to reach conclusions. Despite extensive public notices, the panel has yet to submit detailed findings, prompting the Court to direct regular interim reports and a final report within a month. The inquiry covers allegations of police excesses, including use of force and injuries to protesters and police personnel.
