The Supreme Court of India, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, demanded accountability for police excesses during recent protests, calling for an independent investigation into reported brutality. The CJI emphasized the need for a transparent probe, highlighting injuries sustained by both protesters and police, and underscored the importance of self-discipline in democratic protests. The court also plans to establish nationwide guidelines for handling protests, addressing concerns raised about the use of excessive force, including an AK-47 rifle against student protesters in Bihar.
