Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has accused police of citing orders "from the top" as the reason for not filing a First Information Report (FIR) in a case involving the use of pellet guns. Gandhi alleges this demonstrates a deliberate attempt to shield those responsible for the injuries caused by pellet guns. He claims the police admission reveals a direct instruction to avoid investigation, raising concerns about accountability. The incident stems from a case where individuals were injured by pellet guns, traditionally used for crowd control in Kashmir. Gandhi’s statement suggests a pattern of political interference in law enforcement. This accusation adds to ongoing criticism regarding the use of pellet guns and the lack of justice for victims in the region. The matter highlights tensions between political actors and police independence, particularly in sensitive areas like Kashmir.
