Thirty-five students of Panjab University have written to Chief Justice of India (CJI) SA Bobde and other judges of the Supreme Court seeking an enquiry into alleged police atrocities on the farmers protesting at Delhi borders against the three farm laws.
Aanchal Sawa, one of the signatories of the letter, told PTI that the apex court registry has provided the diary number to the letter which may be registered and heard as a PIL.
In the open letter, the students of the Centre for Human Rights and Duties of the university have alleged that there has been “illegitimate use of water cannons, tear gases shells and lathis on peaceful protesting farmers” by police authorities which needs to be probed.
Seeking inquiry into police excesses and illegal detention of some protesters, the letter has also sought a direction to authorities “to withdraw all the cases against innocent farmers which were registered under political vendetta”.
