The political battle over the alleged use of a pellet gun during a student protest in Delhi has intensified after Delhi Police registered an FIR on the victim's complaint. Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi staged a protest outside the police office, while party workers raised slogans against Union Home Minister Amit Shah and vandalised a section of the DCP office wall. Rahul Gandhi accused authorities of attempting to delay the FIR, calling the case part of a larger pattern and warning that "this is just the beginning." The BJP, however, dismissed the allegations, with JP Nadda accusing Rahul Gandhi of politicising the issue and turning it into a spectacle, further escalating the war of words between the two parties.
