India's top court orders no coercive action against youth protesters and release of minors, media reports say
India's Supreme Court ordered the release of minors arrested during youth protests over exam leaks and mandated preservation of surveillance footage amid allegations of police brutality. The court also directed authorities to protect protesters' data and ensure an independent investigation into excessive force used during the demonstrations, which ended after the education minister resigned and reforms were agreed upon.
