Delhi Protests: Judiciary Urged to Check Police Excess

Delhi Protests: Judiciary Urged to Check Police Excess

There were big protests in Delhi organized by a political group called the Cockroach Janta Party.

The police said they didn't allow the protest and claimed some protesters threw stones.

Videos show the police using a lot of force, like tear gas and batons, even on people who weren't fighting back.

The Supreme Court and Delhi High Court were asked to look into the police's actions.

At first, the Supreme Court didn't want to hear the case, but later the Delhi High Court asked the police for their side of the story.

People are worried because the Constitution says the courts should make sure the police don't use too much force.

Some remember a similar protest in 2011 where the Supreme Court said the police used too much force then.

The courts need to make sure the police follow the rules and protect people's rights.
