The Supreme Court on Thursday asked the Centre to preserve the Rapid Action Force's (RAF) ammunition records used during the July 20 Jantar Mantar protests over the NEET-UG controversy. The court issued notice to the Centre while hearing petitions seeking a ban on the use of pellet guns for crowd control. The bench said pellet guns may be used only in exceptional situations and sought details of the standard operating procedure (SOP) governing their use. The case follows allegations that pellet guns were used excessively during the protest. The matter will be heard again after the Centre files its response. (PC: The Indian Express)
