  "summary": "The Supreme Court-constituted High Powered Enquiry Committee (HPEC), led by former Justice R. Subhash Reddy, has launched a portal at http://hpec.nic.in to invite complaints and representations from people affected by July violence. According to the Free Press Journal, the five-member committee is investigating incidents related to protests over alleged exam irregularities at Jantar Mantar in Delhi and in other cities. The portal is designed to protect vulnerable witnesses and allows affected individuals, including police personnel, to keep their identities confidential and undisclosed if requested.\n\nThe Ministry of Home Affairs stated that submissions can also be made via post or in person, as reported by the Times of India. The Free Press Journal reports that the HPEC will prioritize matters involving the use of pellet guns, targeted violence, the harassment of female protestors, and excessive violence or destruction of property occurring on either side. The committee is tasked with examining issues outlined in specific Supreme Court orders dated August 18 and September 10, 2026.",
