“Amit Shah directed Delhi Police not to register FIR over student’s pellet injury”

way2barak, Aug 22: AICC general secretary K C Venugopal on Friday alleged that Union Home Minister Amit Shah has directed the Delhi Police not to register an FIR on a complaint filed by a 19-year-old youth who suffered pellet gun injuries during the NEET paper leak protest in the national capital.

Venugopal, who is also an Alappuzha MP, was responding to questions about Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi staging a dharna outside Parliament Street police station in New Delhi, demanding registration of an FIR over the injuries suffered by Sahil Lochab during a July 20 protest. Venugopal said Gandhi had accompanied Sahil and his mother to the police station after no case registered on his complaint.

“The mother and the boy came and gave a complaint, so an FIR must be registered and investigated,” he said. Venugopal alleged that the police’s refusal to register a case was based on instructions from Shah.
