CRPF Identifies Personnel Behind Illegal Pellet Gun Deployment During Protests

Internal Inquiry Names Rapid Action Force Personnel

The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has reached a breakthrough in its internal investigation regarding the unauthorized use of force during recent demonstrations. According to a senior official familiar with the proceedings, the Rapid Action Force (RAF) personnel responsible for deploying pellet guns have been formally identified.

This development follows a period of intense scrutiny into how supposedly non-lethal crowd control measures escalated into the use of projectiles capable of causing permanent injury or death. The identification of these specific officers marks a transition from a broad institutional review to a targeted disciplinary inquiry.

Reviewing Tactical Violations

The investigation centers on the specific circumstances that led to the discharge of pellet firearms, which are typically reserved for extreme scenarios or are outright restricted in certain protest environments. NDTV reports that the inquiry aims to determine whether the use of such force was a result of a breakdown in the chain of command or an individual violation of standard operating procedures.

• Identification of individual RAF personnel involved in the shootings.
• Evaluation of the command decisions leading to the deployment of pellet guns.
• Analysis of the physical evidence and injury reports from the protest site.

The CRPF continues to verify the logs and deployment records to establish the full timeline of events. This probe seeks to address the allegations of excessive force that have shadowed the unit's recent operations.
