Supreme Court says no illegal detention or internet curbs during SIR protests
Original: EC-SIR protests | No illegal detention, internet restrictions: Supreme Court
India's Supreme Court has said there was no illegal detention and no internet restrictions in connection with the protests against the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. The observation came as the court examined complaints about the authorities' handling of demonstrators. The remarks are significant for critics who accused officials of cracking down on those opposing the voter-list exercise.
Why now: The Supreme Court's statement directly addresses accusations of heavy-handed policing during the SIR protests, making it a flashpoint in the debate over the voter-roll revision.
