Government Dismisses Claims of Criminalizing NEET-UG Protestors' Biometrics

The National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) has rejected serious allegations regarding the enrollment of NEET-UG protestors' biometrics into a criminal database. Activists and students have raised concerns about potential violations of fundamental rights, including privacy and free expression, suggesting that such actions could undermine democratic freedoms.

Critics are now demanding accountability from the government: What measures are being taken to protect citizens' rights? How can the government justify the collection of biometrics amid protests? The NCRB emphasizes that any claims of infringement must be substantiated with factual evidence, highlighting the need for transparency and protection of civil liberties.

As reported by The Hindu, the situation raises critical questions about the balance between public order and individual rights. Citizens are urged to remain vigilant and advocate for their constitutional rights in the face of potential overreach by authorities.
