SC Orders Probe into Police Crackdown on Student Protesters

SC Orders Probe into Police Crackdown on Student Protesters

The Supreme Court of India has ordered a special investigation into the police crackdown on student protesters who were demonstrating against exam paper leaks.

The court has also ordered the release of all minors who were arrested during the protests.

The police have been accused of using excessive force, and the court wants to ensure a fair and independent investigation.

The government and police argue that their actions are necessary to maintain law and order, while the protesters and opposition claim that the crackdown is unjust and violates students' rights.

The court's order has led to some states withdrawing cases against the protesters, but others are still proceeding with investigations.
