  "summary": "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.",
