The Supreme Court-appointed high-powered inquiry committee has launched a new portal for protesters and personnel on duty to file complaints and representations over being affected by the violence that took place at Delhi's Jantar Mantar and other places during the July 2026 protests.
Speaking about the development, the Home Ministry officials on Saturday said that the portal, HPEC, has been launched and police personnel can also lodge their complaints on the portal. The committee will investigate the matters mentioned in the top court order.
Talking about the cases, the officials added that those involving use of pellet guns, harassment of women protesters, excessive violence by any side and damage to property would be taken up on a priority basis.
Meanwhile, the portal has been designed to keep the vulnerable witnesses protected along with allowing affected individuals to remain anonymous if they wish.
The Ministry of Home Affairs, in a communique, said, "The portal is launched for the convenience of the affected people, including the affected police personnel."
Apart from that, the ministry further said that any person wishing to provide information and suggestions relating to the issues referred to the HPEC under the Orders dated August 18, 2026 and September 10, 2026 may also do so through the portal.
Those who wish to submit the complaints, representations and other relevant material physically can also do so at the Office of the HPEC at Shiksha Sadan, 17, Rouse Avenue Institutional Area, New Delhi 110002 between 2 PM and 4 PM on all working days.
The victims can also submit their complaints by post at the office address or by email.
Notably, the Supreme Court had constituted the HPEC to investigate all aspects of the violent incidents relating to protests at Jantar Mantar and at places outside Delhi during the month of July 2026.
