Medical Reports Highlight Metallic Fragments in Delhi Protesters Amid Pellet Gun Allegations
Medical reports from the July 20 Jantar Mantar protest in Delhi document multiple metallic foreign bodies surgically removed from injured protesters, including Sheikh Irshad Mansoori. These findings have intensified debate over alleged pellet gun use by security forces, which authorities deny. Protesters and petitioners have approached the Supreme Court alleging excessive force. Experts warn pellet injuries can cause irreversible damage and long-term disability. The government and police maintain no pellet guns were fired, while investigations and forensic analyses are ongoing.
