  "summary": "On August 21, 2026, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi staged a dharna outside the Parliament Street Police Station in New Delhi, demanding the registration of an FIR over pellet injuries sustained by a youth during a protest on July 20. The protest was in response to the leak of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) paper. Gandhi was accompanied by Sahil Lochab, a 19-year-old protester who was hit by a pellet gun during the police action. The Delhi Police have barricaded the area and closed the police station gates, preventing Congress party workers and supporters from entering.",
