SC to hear pleas on police excesses during student protests

SC to hear pleas on police excesses during student protests

The Supreme Court is going to hear two pleas about police using too much force against students who were protesting.

These students were upset about problems in exams, like the NEET paper leak.

They wanted the Education Minister to resign.

The police used sticks and tear gas to stop the protesters from going to Parliament.

The protesters were led by a group called the Cockroach Janta Party.

After 36 days of protesting, the group stopped because the Education Minister resigned and the government agreed to their other demands.
