Delhi Police's Affidavit on Student Protests: Numbers Don’t Address Accountability!
In a striking affidavit submitted to the Supreme Court, the Delhi Police outlined the numbers from the violent student protests on July 20, revealing that over 240 police personnel, including women officers, sustained injuries. Furthermore, around 218 protestors reportedly received medical treatment for their injuries during the clashes. While the police emphasized their role in preventing damage to vital installations near Parliament, crucial questions remain unanswered.
Where’s the Accountability?
Citizens are left wondering: What measures are being taken to ensure accountability for the violence? Why have the authorities not addressed the underlying issues that led to such unrest? The absence of clarity on these matters raises serious concerns about the police's handling of the situation. As reported by The Hindu, the lack of focus on accountability in the affidavit significantly undermines public trust in law enforcement's commitment to uphold justice and order.
