An internal CRPF inquiry has revealed that Rapid Action Force (RAF) personnel used pellet guns during the July 20 ‘Chalo Sansad’ protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar. The probe found that one RAF personnel fired seven pellet rounds, with several hitting protesters and causing injuries. The review also identified lapses in crowd-control procedures, stating that the force used did not fully follow standard operational protocols. Authorities have ordered corrective measures, including stricter adherence to force guidelines and warnings before using force. The findings have intensified demands for accountability and transparency over the handling of the student protest. (PC: X)
