Jantar Mantar violence: Panel gets ‘hardly any’ complaints, SC tells it to press ahead

What's behind this

The Supreme Court noted that only a few complaints have been filed regarding police brutality during the July 20 protests, despite repeated public notices that grievances would be kept confidential and accessible only to the Chairperson and HPEC members. It directed the high‑powered inquiry committee investigating alleged police excesses in the Cockroach Janta Party‑led protests to submit its first fact‑finding report within a month, highlighting the limited number of complaints received through the online portal.
