Delhi Police Action on NEET Protesters Sparks Debate and Opposition Criticism
Delhi Police has registered 10 FIRs and deployed 20 teams with AI cameras to monitor protesters demonstrating against the NEET paper leak. The police denied using pellet guns against demonstrators marching to Parliament, though allegations have revived debate on non-lethal weapons. Opposition parties, including Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav, have criticized Home Minister Amit Shah, demanding his resignation over the police action and seeking withdrawal of FIRs. The government is also preparing to introduce amendments to the anti-paper leak law.
