Rahul's dharna, FIR demand, face-off: How drama unfolded over pellet use
High-voltage drama unfolded at Delhi's Parliament Street police station over the alleged refusal to register a complaint regarding police brutality during a student protest on July 20. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and his lawyer Sahil Lochab approached the Delhi Police on August 14, submitting a written complaint but received no I/O number or acknowledgement.
Rahul visited the DCP office on August 17, demanding action on the complaint and an FIR; however, the DCP also failed to provide the necessary details. Rahul and Sahil staged a sit-in outside the police station, with his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra joining. Videos showed Rahul discussing the matter with police officials while Sahil, injured by pellet guns, stood beside him.
Rahul accused the authorities of undermining constitutional principles and vowed to fight for justice for Sahil and other injured students. He also accused Home Minister Amit Shah of being scared of justice and vowed to ensure justice for the victims through a judicial inquiry and action against those responsible.
