Student Protest Cases Withdrawn: What About Attacked Policemen?
The government's decision to withdraw cases against student protesters has triggered a nationwide political and legal debate.
After Bihar, both Assam and Maharashtra announced moves to withdraw cases against those who participated in the anti-NEET protests. The Bihar government said it would take no punitive or retaliatory legal action against individuals who joined the protests before the July 26 deadline, while Assam and Maharashtra also indicated similar relief for protesters.
The move follows negotiations between protest leaders and the Centre, with organisers saying that withdrawing cases against protesters was a key condition for ending the agitation.
