July 20 NEET protest: SC asks states to release student protesters under 18 with no criminal records
The Supreme Court said a prima facie case had been made out for a transparent inquiry by a commission and added that the exercise should help frame a protocol for handling such situations in the future. The hearing also brought before the court allegations of police excesses from several states, including claims that a police officer in Bihar used an AK-47 against peaceful protesters.
