RaGa stages sit-in outside P'street police station

Rahul Gandhi, the Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition, staged a sit-in outside Parliament Street Police Station on Friday, demanding that Delhi Police register a case regarding a pellet gun incident that occurred during a July 20 demonstration. Joined by student protester Sahil Lochav, Gandhi alleged that Lochav was hit by a pellet gun during the protest.

Gandhi accompanied Lochav to the office of the DCP, Central, before reaching the Parliament Street Police Station to press the police to act on the complaint. Both urged the police to provide details of the case officer and acknowledged Lochav's written complaint from August 14. Despite following up via email and phone on August 17, no I/O number or acknowledgement was provided by the police.

The Congress leader accused the DCP's office of not providing the case officer's details or the I/O number, stating that the incident constitutes a cognisable offence warranting an FIR.
