'Work Fearlessly, I'll Take Responsibility': CRPF Chief to Personnel Amid Pellet Gun Row

Singh said he would take responsibility for officers’ actions as the force reviews allegations of pellet guns and charged batons during the march.

  • Addressing personnel at the CRPF Raising Day ceremony on Monday, CRPF Director General Gyanendra Pratap Singh urged officers to perform duties "fearlessly," pledging to take full responsibility for actions taken in the bona fide discharge of duty.
  • Controversy erupted after the Rapid Action Force used plastic pellets to disperse protesters during the July 20 'Chalo Sansad' march near Jantar Mantar, sparking debate over crowd-control measures and allegations of student injuries.
  • Wednesday's reports indicated that no action is likely against security personnel, who reportedly acted according to Standard Operating Procedure under orders from a Deputy Commissioner of Police present at the protest site.
  • Leader Rahul Gandhi alleged protesters suffered grievous injuries, accusing the Delhi Police and RAF of using excessive force, while the CRPF announced a "professional post-event assessment" of the operation to determine its official view.
  • The force headquarters is expected to present its official stance once the internal "professional post-event assessment" concludes, as evaluating the entire operation remains part of the CRPF's Standard Operating Procedure .
