The CRPF has identified at least one Rapid Action Force (RAF) personnel accused of firing pellet guns during the July 20 NEET paper leak protests in Delhi, with an internal inquiry now underway. According to officials, the personnel allegedly fired 7 rounds in Connaught Place, with 5 pellets striking protesters. The probe will examine why pellet guns were used and whether force protocols were violated. Several protesters suffered pellet injuries, while hospitals confirmed at least one case. The Delhi Police has denied using pellet guns, and senior RAF officials have reportedly criticised the use of excessive force during the protest. (PC: NDTV)
