Delhi Police issues new protest guidelines after NEET-UG paper-leak demonstrations
India
Delhi Police just dropped fresh rules for how officers should handle protests, especially after recent viral moments at events like the NEET-UG paper-leak demonstrations.
The main idea? Officers are being told to keep their cool, avoid heated exchanges with protesters, and not let things spiral into social media controversies.
Officers asked to use neutral language
Officers have been asked not to react to emotional tactics or provocations: no shouting, snatching stuff, or getting pulled into arguments.
Instead, they're encouraged to stay calm and use neutral phrases like "Please cooperate, we are doing our duty."
The guidelines highlight that with cameras on now, a calm approach helps avoid messy viral clips.
