IndiaThe Supreme Court of India has agreed to urgently hear a petition filed by a retired Air Force officer seeking accountability from the organizers of the NEET-UG protests for the violence that occurred in the national capital on July 20. The petitioner argued that the organizers were exacerbating tensions rather than calming them, and highlighted incidents involving young protesters using abusive language and sharing videos online. The petitioner suggested that these individuals should undergo community service and requested the court to prevent the registration of First Information Reports (FIRs) against them. Additionally, the lawyer noted inconsistencies among state governments regarding how to handle the protesters, emphasizing the need for the Supreme Court to address the matter due to its national significance.
