Former Delhi Police ACP Ved Bhushan joins NDTV to discuss the Supreme Court's directions on the student protest cases, the demand to withdraw FIRs, allegations of police excesses, and the use of pellet guns during the clashes. He argues that while genuine students should not be prosecuted, those with criminal antecedents and those involved in violence must face the law. He also explains the security challenges around Parliament, the police's standard operating procedures, and why he believes accountability must extend to both violent protesters and law enforcement where required. Watch the full discussion.
