SC passes following interim directions :
1. All footage of CCTV, drones, & body cameras, and logs of wireless communication and PCR must be preserved.
2. Authorities must preserve the personal information and digital data of student protesters and they should not be brought in the public domain.
3. The personal data or details of the protesters must not be published.
4. No coercive steps should be taken against students over protests, provided they have no criminal antecedents.
