The Supreme Court of India has established a special panel to investigate allegations of violence during recent youth-led protests that forced the education minister to resign last month. The inquiry will examine claims of police brutality against demonstrators as well as allegations that protesters attacked security personnel. The protests, reportedly linked to concerns over exam-related issues, had escalated across several locations and attracted significant public attention. The court’s decision seeks an impartial examination of events and accountability for any wrongdoing. The panel’s formation comes after earlier court intervention concerning detained young protesters and demands for preservation of surveillance footage and other evidence. (PC: Reuters)
