Delhi Police has told the Supreme Court it no longer wants to pursue 13 FIRs registered in connection with student protests held across the national capital between July 20 and 25. The decision follows the Central government’s July 25 decision not to pursue the cases linked to the protests. However, police have sought the court’s permission to register a fresh and separate FIR against 2,873 individuals identified as having serious criminal antecedents. Delhi Police has requested that the 13 FIRs be quashed and said no other fresh case would be filed over the incidents, apart from the proposed FIR. (PC: India Today)
