What happened
Aam Aadmi Party leaders have criticised the BJP-led Delhi Police for using force against students protesting at Delhi University. The party has called the police response excessive and politically motivated.
The Aam Aadmi Party has alleged that the police were trying to suppress student dissent. The party says the students were raising concerns linked to campus conditions and harassment.
UPSC can use Delhi University student protests and the Delhi Police response to test the balance between maintaining public order and protecting the right to peaceful protest, especially in Delhi where policing is under the Union government. A Mains question may also ask about police accountability, proportionality in crowd control, and the treatment of student dissent in a democracy.
