GK and monthly revision
Delhi students allege police harassment follows them home to Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Odisha long after protests
Delhi protest participants allege sustained police harassment extending to their home states — Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Odisha — months or years after demonstrations. Police reportedly conduct repeated home visits, question family members, and engage in surveillance and intimidation. This raises serious concerns about civil liberties, federalism, and misuse of police powers across state boundaries. The issue is highly relevant for polity, governance, and human rights topics in competitive exams.
