The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- The Delhi government's Home Department has ordered that no adverse legal action will be taken against people who protested the NEET-UG paper leak, and any related arrests or detentions will be reviewed and released expeditiously.
- The protection excludes those with criminal antecedents, as required by a Supreme Court order, and does not cover those who engaged in violence or unlawful acts.
- The decision follows the CJP's 36-day protest, which ended after the Centre agreed to withdraw cases and meet other demands, though the group had threatened fresh protests saying the assurance was being violated.
What to watch next
- Implementation of the expedited review and release of arrested protesters
- How the exclusion for criminal antecedents and violent conduct is applied in practice
- Whether other states follow West Bengal, Assam and Bihar in withdrawing FIRs against protesters
