Bihar Journal of Public AdministrationSummary: Ensuring the life and property of the citizens has been the raison d’etre of the law enforcement agencies of any state. However, the recent Protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act throughout the country also raise the considerations of the casualties of law enforcement personnel. Soon during the protests, the country found itself embroiled in a discussion whether the use of force by the police was just or unjust; the study argues for the human rights of the police personnel and puts forward the view that there has to be limitations imposed on the citizens with regard to the protests. This aspect has been considerably ignored by the academicians and the three branches of the government. The article highlights the police casualties and argues for due consideration of the human rights of the police forces. One of the limitations of this study has been the absolute lack of literature on the topic thereby indicating the usual mindset of various section of the society towards the police personnel. Thus, the study is completely novel in nature which questions the set norms in the times of violent protests. – Reproduced
