Supreme Court to Hear Petition Seeking Ban on Pellet Guns After Student Protest Injuries
The Supreme Court is set to hear a petition seeking a ban on pellet guns following injuries during the July 20 student protest. Petitioners, including a former IPS officer and injured demonstrators, allege excessive force and demand compensation. Rahul Gandhi has accused the government of authorizing pellet gun use, citing injuries, while the government denies these claims, stating only non-lethal measures like tear gas were used. The case highlights ongoing political debate over crowd-control tactics and accountability.
