RAF fired multiple munitions during July 20 protests, 2 rounds of non-lethal plastic pellets
RAF fired multiple munitions during July 20 protests, including 55 non-electrical shells, 15 electrical shells, five tear smoke grenades, two anti-riot gun rounds, and two rounds of plastic pellets.
The firing was recorded in the Parliament Street police station general diary on July 22, based on information from a RAF Deputy Commandant.
Plastic pellets are non-lethal and contain four pieces per round, causing less harm than metal pellets, officials said.
The use of pellets sparked political controversy, with Opposition demanding a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah; Dharmendra Pradhan resigned as Union Education Minister over the NEET-UG question paper leak.
