'Whoever committed excesses must be taken to task': SC 

The Supreme Court on Tuesday emphasized the need for a "completely independent probe" into the July 20 violence during protests led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP).

The protests turned violent when demonstrators tried to march toward Parliament.

Police resorted to tear gas and batons, resulting in clashes and numerous detentions.

Today, the bench, headed by Chief Justice Surya Kant, demanded an independent probe into the incident.

"Whoever has committed excess, law will take its course," the court said.
