Supreme Court Reports Few Police‑Brutality Complaints from July 20 Protests

The <b>Supreme Court</b>, hearing a petition linked to the <b>July 20</b> farmers’ protests, said only a handful of complaints have been filed regarding alleged police brutality. The court noted that despite repeated public notices urging protesters to lodge grievances confidentially, the number of submissions remains low. The court emphasized the importance of accurate data to assess the situation. The Attorney General’s office explained that complaints are accessible only to the Chairperson and members of the High Power Enforcement Committee (HPEC). Officials said the limited response does not reflect the scale of the protests, and the court urged authorities to keep the confidentiality promise.
