Why it matters
This case underscores the judiciary's role in protecting vulnerable citizens and activists from harassment by anti-social elements.
The Supreme Court on Thursday (September 10, 2026) asked Solicitor General of India Tushar Mehta to ensure “immediate action” by the Delhi Police on the complaint filed in Parliament Street Police Station by a 14-year-old student, who alleged open threats and harassment from vigilantes and miscreants for her role in the Cockroach Janta Party protests against NEET-UG question paper leaks .
“These are anti-social elements. They commit violence against a child, and they roam free. Now, they are again trying to browbeat and intimidate the child and her family, so that they do not proceed with any legal action. This is a very serious issue. Her cause is absolutely justified,” Chief Justice of India Surya Kant , heading a three-judge Bench, observed.
