Political Backlash Grows Over Alleged Force Used at Parliament March

Protest Injuries Reported:

Medical reports and injured participants from the recent demonstration march toward Parliament have highlighted severe injuries, including pellet wounds, electric shocks, and baton trauma. Protesters and a journalist injured during the demonstration have sought compensation and medical attention following the clashes.

Opposition Condemnation:

Political leaders, including Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, strongly condemned the heavy-handed response by security personnel. Displaying evidence of injuries at a public briefing, opposition figures accused the central government of aggressively targeting students and protesters during the march.

Judicial Response:

The legal fallout continued as the High Court declined a petition seeking a National Investigation Agency probe into the events surrounding the protest. The rejection leaves local law enforcement and administrative channels handling the ongoing inquiries into the handling of the demonstration.
