Complaint filed in NHRC over police ‘brutality’ on protesters at Jantar Mantar
A complaint filed with the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) seeks an independent inquiry into alleged police brutality against protesters at Jantar Mantar on July 20.
The complaint, by Congress member and advocate Virender Vashist, alleges excessive and disproportionate use of force by police against students protesting the NEET-UG exam paper leak.
It includes allegations of misconduct by male police personnel against female students and calls for the NHRC to record statements from affected women.
The complaint demands the NHRC obtain CCTV footage, body-camera recordings, and medical records from Delhi Police and recommend action against responsible officials and compensation for victims.
