NEET protest at Bengaluru's Freedom Park sparks political row; FIR registered over controversial posters
A protest over the NEET question paper leak at Bengaluru's Freedom Park on July 24 has triggered a political controversy after police registered an FIR against a woman for displaying posters referencing Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam, both accused in the 2020 North-East Delhi riots case. Around 1,000-1,500 students and activists gathered for a peaceful demonstration. Police seized the posters, alleging they could provoke public disorder and disturb communal harmony. The woman's identity remains unknown as she left the scene. Karnataka BJP President B.Y. Vijayendra accused the Congress government of failing to act against 'anti-national activities,' while Home Minister Priyank Kharge defended the police response, noting an FIR was promptly filed. The case was registered under Section 192 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, and police are analyzing CCTV footage to identify the suspect.
