Amnesty International has published a new investigation documenting unlawful and lethal police force against CJP‑led protests, noting ongoing impunity for officers.
Amnesty International released a detailed investigation that records instances where police employed unlawful and deadly force against demonstrations organized by the CJP. The report cites multiple incidents in which security personnel used live ammunition and other lethal methods, resulting in fatalities and serious injuries among protesters.
The findings highlight a pattern of impunity, noting that no police officers have been held accountable for the excessive use of force. Amnesty calls for independent inquiries and immediate legal action to ensure compliance with national and international human‑rights standards.
The organization urges the Indian government to review its crowd‑control policies, provide transparent investigations, and guarantee that victims receive justice. It also recommends reforms to police training and oversight mechanisms to prevent future violations.
The report adds to growing concerns from civil‑society groups about the broader climate of police brutality in the country, urging both domestic and international stakeholders to monitor the situation closely.
