SC directs Delhi govt to treat Jantar Mantar protesters injured in pellet firing
The Supreme Court ordered the Delhi government to treat protestors injured by police pellet guns. This direction came after a plea challenging the use of such weapons at Jantar Mantar. The court noted police rules permit pellet gun use in exceptional circumstances. Advocate Vrinda Grover argued no standing order mandates pellet use by Delhi police. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta acknowledged the police had protective gear.
