On July 20, pellet guns were allegedly used during protests by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) in Delhi. Sahil Lochav, an injured participant, filed a complaint alleging the use of pellet guns. Despite his complaint, no FIR had been registered until Delhi Police registered one on Friday. Rahul Gandhi, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, ended his sit-in protest and stated that the FIR marks the first step towards justice.
Gandhi visited the Parliament Street police station and staged a sit-in, demanding the registration of an FIR on Lochav's complaint. Union Minister JP Nadda criticized Gandhi for staging a camera-centric drama to keep himself in the headlines, accusing him of engaging in cheap, attention-seeking politics. The BJP leader alleged that the drama was related to criticism Congress is facing over the Vande Mataram issue.
