<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nNEW DELHI: Delhi Police<\/a> registered a case after leader of opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi<\/a> staged a five-hour dharna outside Parliament Street police station Friday, demanding an FIR in connection with pellet injuries suffered by 19-year-old Sahil Lochab during the July 20 Jantar Mantar protest, reports Abhay.Gandhi reached the police station with Lochab, his mother and their lawyer around 11.30am. He was later joined by Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and other party functionaries, and met the DCP and other senior officers.Displaying Lochab\u2019s medical reports, Gandhi said more than 200 pellets had entered the student\u2019s body, including three that struck his eye and put his vision at risk. Some pellets, he added, were lodged near Lochab\u2019s heart and could not be removed by doctors. He also displayed a pellet recovered from the student\u2019s body during treatment.\u201cBrutality against a peaceful protest is a serious crime. An offence has been committed and we are demanding registration of an FIR,\u201d Gandhi said, alleging Delhi Police told them they had received instructions \u201cfrom above\u201d not to register the case. The charge was denied by police.After over five hours, Lochab\u2019s complaint was filed and an FIR registered against unknown persons under sections 118(1) and 125 of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), relating to voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous means and acts endangering life or personal safety.Gandhi termed it \u201ca first step towards justice\u201d. Thanking him, Lochab said: \u201cWhen he called to ask about my health, I mentioned that my FIR wasn\u2019t being registered. He immediately said, \u2018Let\u2019s meet tomorrow; I will go and get your FIR filed.\u2019 It took eight hours to get the FIR registered, and perhaps it wouldn\u2019t have been registered at all if the LOP hadn\u2019t supported me.\u201dAccording to Lochab, he submitted a seven-page complaint to police on Aug 14 seeking registration of an FIR, but no action was taken.In his complaint, Lochab, a Najafgarh resident, said he had joined the July 20 Sansad Chalo march against the alleged NEET paper leak. He alleged that when the lathicharge and teargas firing began, he ran with the crowd towards Connaught Place, but as he approached Palika Bazaar and Connaught Place carrying the tricolour, he was hit multiple times by metal pellets fired by a person in a blue uniform carrying a large gun.Lochab stated that he suffered injuries to his right eye, face, arm and chest, and lost vision in his right eye. He was taken to Lady Hardinge Hospital and later referred to Safdarjung Hospital and AIIMS. His first eye surgery was performed on July 22. He said his MLC recorded that the eye injury was caused by a pellet and that the chances of recovery were less than 1%.An AIIMS CT scan showed more than 200 pellets lodged in his body, including in his eye, neck, chest, jaw and arm, Lochab stated, adding some pellets near the eye nerve could not be removed. He underwent a second eye surgery on Aug 1, but his vision had not returned, he added.Lochab also said the injuries had disrupted his studies and ended his hopes of joining Delhi Police. In his complaint, he sought preservation of CCTV and drone footage, forensic examination of the pellets removed from his body and registration of an FIR.<\/div>\n Delhi Police registered a case after Rahul Gandhi staged a dharna.
