NEW DELHI: Delhi Police is inquiring into a “back-dated” general diary entry recorded at Parliament Street police station that surfaced Tuesday claiming that it was on the directions of a DCP that a deputy commander of the Rapid Action Force used force and fired two rounds of plastic pellets at protesters.

An inquiry revealed RAF personnel fired pellet rounds during the July 20 Parliament march in Delhi, injuring protesters as some pellets hit the ground in Connaught Place.

CRPF launches probe into RAF’s use of pellet guns against student protesters amid rising outrage and calls for accountability.
