Police Brutality Against Student Protesters in Delhi

Police Brutality Against Student Protesters in Delhi

Students in Delhi were protesting against a scandal related to the NEET examination and demanding the resignation of the education minister.

They gathered peacefully at Jantar Mantar, a place designated for protests.

However, the police stopped them from marching towards Parliament and used excessive force, including batons, tear gas, and pellet guns.

Many students were injured, and some reports suggest the police themselves threw stones at the protesters.

This has raised concerns about police brutality and the need for reforms to ensure that the police protect the people rather than the government.

Many are calling for a judicial inquiry to investigate these actions.

Former bureaucrats have also condemned the police actions and demanded an independent inquiry and other measures to address the situation.
