CRPF Denies RTI on Pellet Gun Use During July 20 Protests
The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has denied a Right to Information (RTI) request seeking details on the use of pellet guns during protests on July 20. The request was filed by TMC leader Saket Gokhale. The CRPF cited Section 24(1) of the RTI Act, which exempts certain organizations from disclosing information, as the reason for denial. The denial comes amid ongoing discussions about the use of pellet guns in crowd control.
