After SC order, West Bengal govt says no action against NEET protesters, except those with criminal records
NEW DELHI: The West Bengal government on Tuesday announced that it would not take any coercive action against students who participated in protests over the NEET (UG) paper leak issue.
However, the BJP-led state government clarified that the relief would not apply to individuals with criminal antecedents.
The directions are in line with the Supreme Court's interim order earlier in the day, which granted protection from coercive action to protesters. However, the court allowed the Centre and state governments to proceed against protesters with criminal records.
