Rapid Action Force Bans Pellet Guns and Shock Weapons in Delhi After Backlash

The Rapid Action Force (RAF) has prohibited the use of pellet guns and shock weapons by its personnel in Delhi, according to sources. The decision follows public outrage over the handling of a protest at Jantar Mantar. The Inspector General of the RAF reportedly told officers that the level of force used during the demonstration was excessive and unjustified. The ban reflects an internal acknowledgment that crowd-control methods deployed at the protest crossed acceptable limits.
