Rahul Gandhi sits on dharna at police station amid row over pellet gun use during Delhi protests

Rahul Gandhi staged a protest outside the Deputy Commissioner of Police office in Delhi, demanding that an FIR be registered against police brutality. The student at the center of the controversy, Sahil Lochab, claims to have been injured by pellet guns during a protest on July 20, which the Congress party alleges was not properly addressed.

Gandhi reached the police station with Lochab, who had previously filed a complaint but received no action. The Congress party is pushing for an independent investigation into the police's handling of the protests, alleging the use of pellet guns and other crowd-control measures. The Delhi Police has not yet responded to the allegations.
