NEET protests: SC panel to probe police excesses

The Supreme Court has formed a five-member committee, led by ex-Supreme Court judge Justice R. Subhash Reddy, to investigate police misconduct during student protests related to alleged examination paper leaks. The committee will look into allegations of excessive force, including the use of pellet guns, electric batons, lathi charges, and tear gas, as well as violence against women protesters, surveillance, and the appropriateness of crowd-control measures. The panel will also consider claims of police personnel being harmed and damage to public property.
