Rahul Gandhi Leads Dharna Demanding FIR for Student’s Pellet Gun Injuries

Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi staged a dharna outside the Parliament Street Police Station in New Delhi after officials reportedly refused to register an FIR for Sahil Lochab. Lochab, a 19-year-old protester, allegedly suffered pellet gun injuries to his eyes and abdomen during a July 20 demonstration regarding NEET irregularities. Gandhi claims the Delhi Police are denying justice by failing to provide an investigation number for the cognizable offence. The Congress party alleges that previous attempts to file the complaint were ignored.

Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra launched a sit-in at the Sansad Marg Police Station to demand a formal complaint against the use of excessive force. The protest follows allegations that student Sahil Lochav was hit by pellet guns during a July 20 march over examination leaks. While the Congress party claims the police are illegally denying an FIR for a cognizable offence, the Delhi Police maintain that force was only used after protesters turned violent and resorted to stone-pelting.

Rahul Gandhi led a protest at Delhi's Parliament Street Police Station, alleging that police refused to register an FIR for a student reportedly injured by pellet guns. Gandhi stated on social media that Sahil Lochab’s vision is at risk due to police brutality during a July 20 protest. While police have not officially confirmed pellet use, a daily diary entry reportedly recorded the use of plastic pellets. The Supreme Court has since formed an enquiry committee to investigate these allegations of police excesses.

The police claimed an FIR had already been registered and cited a Supreme Court committee, while Gandhi maintained that the lack of transparency violated constitutional rights.
