Rahul Gandhi Says FIR on Pellet‑Injured Protester Filed Only After Amit Shah’s Approval

Rahul Gandhi, speaking at a press interaction, asserted that the FIR related to a protester who sustained injuries from police‑fired pellet shells was lodged only after Home Minister Amit Shah gave his approval. He highlighted that the complaint, filed by the injured protester, had remained pending until the senior minister intervened. Gandhi’s remarks point to what he described as a selective application of law‑enforcement procedures. The incident in question involved a demonstration where police resorted to pellet guns, resulting in a protester being hit and requiring medical attention. Gandhi called for an impartial investigation and urged the authorities to ensure that legal action is not contingent on political clearance. The opposition leader’s statement adds to the ongoing debate over police conduct during protests and the role of the government in overseeing such cases.
