Story

Two surveillance vehicles deployed at Jantar Mantar during the nationwide NEET-UG 2026 paper-leak protests: one aggregating live CCTV feeds, and the "Ikshana" vehicle running AI facial recognition against a police photo database, with some officers wearing Meta AI glasses to capture live feed (r/singularity, corroborated by Outlook India, The Federal, Asian Mirror). Police say more than 2,500 individuals with suspected criminal backgrounds were identified in and around the protest site. Former JNUSU president Aishe Ghosh has filed a PIL in the Delhi High Court over the continuous, intrusive surveillance, and protesters are raising the prospect of captures being linked to Aadhaar biometrics.
