Supreme Court dismissing police brutality allegations raises serious concerns.
On July 22, 2026, the Supreme Court declined to initiate suo motu proceedings regarding alleged police excesses during a student protest on July 20 in New Delhi. A lawyer urged the court to examine videographic evidence of brutality but was rebuffed by Chief Justice Surya Kant who said the court’s time should not be wasted. The Delhi High Court also refused an urgent hearing the previous day. This followed protests demanding fair exams and reforms, leaving several protesters injured.
