Delhi Police defends face scans during CJP protests
- Delhi Police told the SC it scanned 2,873 faces at Jantar Mantar — identifying people with criminal records through its Crime Kundli database.
- Police said the system only targeted those already linked to serious crimes — not every protester present at the CJP demonstrations.
- Police also denied excessive force — saying anti-social elements had infiltrated the rally and its response was proportionate to the situation.
