The Bihar government informed the Supreme Court that the use of an AK‑47 during a protest did not result in any injuries.
In recent weeks, the Bihar government presented evidence to the Supreme Court regarding the use of an AK‑47 during a protest that took place in the state. The incident involved a protester allegedly firing an AK‑47 at a crowd, but authorities claim the weapon was discharged without hitting anyone.
The Supreme Court, which has been reviewing the case, received a written statement from the state government asserting that medical records and eyewitness accounts confirm no injuries were sustained.
Legal experts say the court will examine the evidence before deciding whether the incident constitutes a violation of law. The government has also requested that the court consider the context of the protest.
