Amid the crackdown on student protesters in the capital during a Parliament march on July 20, the Rapid Action Force used anti-riot guns at least twice, sources have told NDTV. While Delhi Police has denied the use of pellet guns on the protesters, a general diary entry of July 22 at the Parliament Street police station seen by NDTV states that Rapid Action Force personnel deployed at Jantar Mantar on July 20 used anti-riot guns (ARGs) twice on the instructions of a DCP-rank officer of the Delhi Police.
The use of the controversial and potentially dangerous weapons on student protesters has become a major issue, with several protesters who sustained pellet injuries coming forward and accusing security personnel of firing pellets. According to the diary entry, a company of RAF personnel deployed in Zone 1 of Jantar Mantar was working with the DCP of Delhi Police to control the crowd.
