Supreme Court Orders Release of Minors Detained in CJP Protests
On July 29, 2026, India’s Supreme Court ordered the release of minors who were arrested during protests related to the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP). The court emphasized the importance of preserving surveillance footage amid claims of police violence against demonstrators.
Chief Justice Surya Kant instructed officials to safeguard both digital and personal data of protest participants, ensuring that no harsh measures would be taken against them. Additionally, he ordered that the protesters’ information must not be made public.
This court ruling came after petitions were filed by student activists seeking justice for what they described as excessive force used by the police, including the firing of pellet guns during the protests.
Justice Kant stated that anyone who committed violence against innocent individuals must be held accountable, also insisting on a thorough and fair investigation into the incidents.
The swift judicial response underscores the ongoing concerns about police conduct during times of civic unrest in India.
Delhi Police Target Abusive Online Posts Against Modi
In a continued effort to control dissent following the CJP protests, the Delhi Police has filed a First Information Report (FIR) against various social media accounts that allegedly shared offensive posts about Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Authorities have requested that the platform X remove these posts and provide information on the users behind the content that is currently under investigation. The police’s Social Media Monitoring Team is actively searching for posts that may violate laws or create public disorder.
Reports suggest that the Special Cell’s Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations (IFSO) unit is handling the case, which includes charges of criminal intimidation and defamation. However, specifics on how many accounts have received notices remain unclear.
