UPDATED: Jul 23, 2026 23:40 ISTAn India Today exclusive report accesses medical proof from Safdarjung Hospital confirming the use of pellet guns by the Rapid Action Force during the Chalo Sansad March near Jantar Mantar. While Delhi Police previously denied using pellet guns, a medical legal certificate accessed by journalist Anand Singh explicitly mentions pellet injuries in multiple places on a 25-year-old Delhi resident. The anonymous protester sustained around 20 pellet wounds on his back and elbow after police pointed gun barrels toward the crowd amid teargas firing. The medical documentation shows pellet guns were fired above the waist, violating standard protocol and placing protesters at risk of losing their eyesight. The victim underwent treatment at Safdarjung Hospital, where all pellets were removed before he was discharged to recover at home. This medical report provides documentary evidence contradicting official statements regarding force deployed during the protest. Read MoreVIDEOS FROM OTHER SECTIONSLATEST VIDEOS
