Sahil Lochab, Delhi teen whose pellet injury sparked Rahul Gandhi-Delhi Police standoff
Rahul Gandhi took a stand by protesting for the filing of an FIR concerning the pellet injuries sustained by Sahil Lochab. The injuries were inflicted during a CJP demonstration held on July 20th. After his complaint went unacknowledged, Sahil called for police intervention. His career aspirations have been severely affected due to the multiple pellet injuries he sustained.
In a recent confrontation at Parliament Street Police Station, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi engaged in an intense exchange with a Delhi Police officer over the registration of an individual FIR for student Sahil Lochab’s alleged pellet gun injuries. Gandhi’s persistent questioning demanded clarity on the action being taken in Lochab’s case, insisting that the complaint must result in an individual FIR and vowing not to leave until action was taken.
Following the protest, Delhi Police registered an FIR based on a complaint filed by Lochab, though no individual has been named as an accused yet. Congress leaders Randeep Surjewala and Priyanka Gandhi joined Gandhi’s sit-in at the DCP office, highlighting the issue as a matter of constitutional rights and police accountability.
The controversy stems from the July 20 student protests over alleged examination irregularities, with several protesters, including Lochab, reportedly injured during police action. The latest FIR marks a significant development in the case, following Gandhi’s persistent demand for accountability.
