Delhi Police File 42-Page Affidavit in Supreme Court on NEET-UG Protests

The Delhi Police have submitted a 42-page affidavit in the Supreme Court regarding the handling of demonstrations held by NEET-UG protestors, presenting detailed deployment figures while omitting steps taken regarding allegations of misconduct by officers.

The affidavit, filed near midnight on August 17, 2026, focuses heavily on operational statistics from the ground. Among the data provided to the court, the police outlined the number of barricades set up across protest areas to regulate the movement of protestors, as well as the total strength of women police personnel deployed during the demonstrations.

However, the extensive filing remains silent on internal administrative actions. The document does not mention any inquiries initiated by the police hierarchy to investigate or fix accountability for police personnel who allegedly misbehaved with women students and protestors during the agitation.
