Delhi Police’s AI surveillance at CJP protest puts Centre on the hot seat as activist moves court
Student activist Aishe Ghosh has moved court and challenged PM Modi’s government over the use of AI-powered surveillance at CJP’s Jantar Mantar protest, regarded as one of the largest youth protest in decades, with the court case set to become a test of the Centre’s powers even after the agitation ended.
The surveillance controversy erupted during last week’s protests at Jantar Mantar over NEET paper leak, when demonstrators posted pictures on social media of a mobile police surveillance van equipped with cameras on a telescopic mast providing a 360-degree view of the gathering.
