In this episode of India Upfront , anchor Pranesh Roy examines the debate around the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, its safeguards and questions being raised over its application in individual cases. The discussion comes amid the FIR against IIT-Bombay professor Suryanarayana Doolla in connection with the death of student Sahil Wakode, following allegations by the student’s family. The episode also looks at calls for stronger scrutiny of complaints, the legal safeguards surrounding FIRs and bail, and the Supreme Court’s observations that courts must examine the facts of each case rather than apply the bail bar mechanically.
