Police Accused of Using Pellet Guns During Delhi Student Protest

Allegations emerged that police used pellet guns during the student protest in Delhi after hospital records concerning an injured protester were cited. Pellets were reportedly removed from the person’s eye during surgery. Delhi Police denied that pellet guns had been used against the demonstrators. The allegation and the police denial present conflicting accounts that require further examination, including verification of the medical records and determination of how the reported eye injuries were sustained.
