Experts confirm CJP supporters injured by pellet guns during Delhi protests
Police use of pellet guns on protesters raises serious concerns about excessive force.
Independent experts confirm injuries sustained by Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) supporters during protests in Delhi on 20 July were caused by pellet guns. Police and paramilitary forces used wooden sticks, batons, and tear gas against tens of thousands protesting for education reforms. Experts say at least four protesters treated for wounds consistent with birdshot from pellet guns. These injuries can be life-threatening and are banned or restricted in many countries due to their dangerous nature.
