Protesters Continue to Live with Pellets After July 20 Parliament March InjuriesPreviousNext

Two weeks after the July 20 protest march to Parliament, several protesters, including artist Prashant Kumar Singh, continue to live with pellets lodged in their bodies following Rapid Action Force firing. Medical teams have removed some pellets posing greater risks, while others remain due to potential damage from surgery. Singh and others report lasting injuries affecting daily activities. Authorities have documented these cases as part of medico-legal procedures, with indications that more injured protesters may exist than previously reported.
