Rahul Gandhi’s drop-in at Delhi police station with CJP march pellet victim

Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, visited a police station with a 19-year-old man on Friday to register a complaint against security personnel allegedly using pellet guns during a protest march to Parliament on July 20. The young man, Sahil Lochab, suffered injuries to his eye during the incident and had already submitted a written complaint on August 14 to the Delhi Police.

However, the police refused to provide details about the Investigating Officer and did not register an FIR, despite it being a cognisable offence. Gandhi and Lochab staged a sit-in outside the office of the Deputy Commissioner of Police in Central Delhi, demanding that the police register an FIR. The BJP, in response, accused Gandhi of resorting to "politics of anarchy" and called for respect for the law.
