SC Considers Independent Probe into Police Excesses During Student Protests

SC Considers Independent Probe into Police Excesses During Student Protests

The Supreme Court of India is thinking about setting up a special team to investigate if the police used too much force during recent student protests.

They also ordered the release of all minors who were arrested and told the police not to take action against students unless they have a criminal record.

The court wants to look at videos and other evidence to understand what happened.

Some people say the police used pellet guns and batons, while the government says some protesters were troublemakers.

The court will decide after hearing from the government and the states involved.
