Delhi Police File FIR Over Alleged Pellet Gun Use During CJP Protest After Rahul Gandhi Sit-In

Delhi Police registered a First Information Report (FIR) on Friday following a complaint alleging the use of pellet guns during a protest by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) in Delhi on July 20, according to the source. The complaint was filed by Sahil Lochav, who claimed he was injured in the incident. Lochav had previously stated that police had not registered an FIR despite his claim.

Sources cited by ANI reported that police were investigating the complaint to determine if a fresh case could be registered following Supreme Court guidelines. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi ended his sit-in after the FIR was registered, stating that the registration marked the first step towards justice for Lochav and highlighting the struggle for justice.

Gandhi had visited the Parliament Street police station earlier on Friday, staging a sit-in to demand that police register an FIR on Lochav's complaint. Congress members gathered outside the police station in support of the demand. Pellet guns were reportedly used at Connaught Place on July 20, with AIIMS report confirming Lochav sustained injuries from more than 200 pellets, three of which are lodged in his eye.
