'Barbaric assault': Rahul Gandhi writes to Amit Shah, seeks accountability for July 20 crackdown on students
Rahul Gandhi wrote to Union home minister Amit Shah seeking accountability for the July 20 police crackdown on student protestors in Delhi.
Gandhi condemned the use of pellet guns, lathis, and tear gas against the Chalo Sansad march by Cockroach Janta Party supporters.
He cited the case of 19-year-old student Sahil Lochab who may lose an eye from a pellet gun injury.
Gandhi asked whether Shah approved the use of lethal force, including pellet guns, and who authorized plainclothes personnel seen beating students.
