SC Orders Probe on Police Actions During Student Protests

The Supreme Court in India has ordered an independent investigation into police actions during student protests.

The court wants to make sure that protesters' rights are protected and that any evidence is preserved.

The court also said that students without any criminal history should be released and that their personal data should not be made public.

However, there are concerns about how the government might use the data it has already collected and how the term 'criminal antecedents' is defined.

Some students have faced facial recognition and social media scrutiny, which they find worrying.

The court's orders are important, but there are still gaps between what has been promised and what has been done.
