Police daily diary entry confirms pellet gun use during CJP Parliament march

Police daily diary entry at Parliament Street Police Station confirmed pellet gun use during July 20 Parliament march called by Cockroach Janta Party (CJP).

Deputy commissioner of police (DCP) and CRPF deputy commandant ordered at least two rounds of firing; RAF fired 55 non-electric shells, 15 electric shells, five tear smoke grenades, and two rounds from ARG with two BC PP rounds.

At least four protesters sustained pellet wounds; one is likely to lose eyesight.

Former IPS officer Yashovardhan Azad and pellet victims Prashant Kumar Singh and Sheikh Irshad Mansoori moved Supreme Court seeking decommission of pellet guns and compensation.

Supreme Court may frame nationwide guidelines on protest handling, observing right to peaceful protest must be protected but excessive force is unacceptable.
