The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) is learnt to have found that a person from its Rapid Action Force (RAF), who was deployed in Connaught Place area during the July 20 protest march<\/a> to Parliament, fired at least seven rounds from his pellet gun<\/a>. Five rounds hit protesters, while two struck the ground, sources told The Indian Express<\/em>.<\/p>\n

As reported by The Indian Express<\/em> earlier, the CRPF had initiated an inquiry<\/a> into whether pellet guns were used by RAF personnel<\/a> during the crackdown on protesters.<\/p>\n

At least three persons were treated in hospitals for pellet gun injuries<\/a> sustained during the protest march \u2014 Irshad Sheikh, 25, who works in Gurgaon; Sahil Lochab, 19, a Delhi University student, and a 28-year-old journalist with Outlook magazine.<\/p>\n

After examining log entries made by RAF personnel, it emerged that a total of seven pellet rounds had been fired by one RAF person in Connaught Place, said a source. \u201cFive of the rounds hit the protesters and two hit the ground. The rounds were fired after protesters attacked security personnel and started pelting stones,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n

When contacted, DG (CRPF) Gyanendra Pratap Singh reiterated his earlier statement: \u201cNow, since the agitation has been called off, and assembled people have dispersed, we would make a professional post-event assessment, like we do after every major assignment, and then let you know the view of the Force headquarter.\u201d
