Teen Protester Injured by Pellet Gun, Eyes at Risk

A 17‑year‑old protester sustained serious injuries after a pellet fired by security forces struck him during a demonstration in Nagaland. The pellet caused a wound on his eye, and doctors warn that he may lose vision in that eye if the injury is not treated promptly. Authorities have not yet released details about the circumstances of the protest or the identity of the security personnel involved. The incident has drawn attention from local human rights groups, who are calling for an independent investigation into the use of pellet guns against civilians.
