Delhi Police authorised pellet gun use against protestors on July 20: RAF general diary entry
Delhi Police authorised pellet gun use against protestors at Jantar Mantar on July 20, as per a Rapid Action Force (RAF) general diary entry registered at Parliament Street police station on July 22. The entry followed The Hindu's report on pellet gun injuries. Subsequently, RAF withdrew pump action guns, electric shields, anti-riot guns, and shock batons from personnel deployed at the protest site. This raises serious concerns about crowd control protocols, use of force guidelines, and accountability of paramilitary forces in handling civilian protests.
