'Delhi cops told us we are traitors': Jantar Mantar protesters meet Rahul Gandhi
In a video, Rahul Gandhi is seen interacting with around six students over the police action at Jantar Mantar.
On July 20, Jantar Mantar protesters met with Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, who praised their "courage and resilience" in the face of police brutality during the demonstration against the NEET-UG paper leak. In a video, Gandhi interacted with around six students who alleged being lathi-charged and hit with pellets by police. One student recounted being hit seven times on the knee and another female student described being hit with a pellet that cut her ear lobe.
The students also accused police of using abusive language and sexual assault. Gandhi expressed his pride in the students, stating their voices cannot be silenced. However, questions remain over the use of pellet guns during the protest, with conflicting reports from the police and the students.
