Congress leader and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Friday staged a dharna at Delhi’s Parliament Street police station, demanding an FIR over alleged excessive force used against students during the July 20 CJP-led protest. Gandhi accompanied student Sahil Lochab, who reportedly suffered pellet-gun injuries during the demonstration over NEET-related issues. After his complaint was not registered at Mandir Marg police station, Gandhi approached senior police officials and continued his protest. He demanded accountability for the alleged use of pellet guns and action against those responsible. Reports and medical records have documented multiple pellet-related injuries among protesters, while Delhi Police has disputed some allegations. (PC: The Hindu)
