Indian police violence against protests
Amnesty International confirmed that the Indian police used excessive force against the protests of the "Cockroach Party" that erupted after a leak of the medical exam results. They employed stun devices, air rifles, tear gas, and batons against protesters in New Delhi and Bihar. Evidence showed that some police officers used deadly force illegally without causing fatalities. The organization considers the police responses as state violence disguised as crowd control, despite police claims that force was used only after protesters resorted to violence. These demonstrations, which shifted from protests against exam cheating to a broader movement addressing unemployment and youth opportunities, represented the biggest challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi since his re-election for a third term in 2024.
