The pellet gun controversy has intensified, with the issue dominating both Houses of Parliament and now coming under the scrutiny of the Supreme Court. After heated exchanges in the Lok Sabha, the Congress raised the matter in the Rajya Sabha, with Rahul Gandhi accusing the government of brutality against protesters and holding Home Minister Amit Shah responsible for the alleged use of pellet guns. The government has strongly rejected the allegations, triggering a fresh political confrontation.

Amid the escalating row, CRPF Director General Gyanendra Pratap Singh has defended the actions of security personnel, while the Supreme Court has observed that the use of such force is permitted only in exceptional circumstances under police rules and has directed the Delhi Police to produce the relevant standing order. As the legal and political battle gathers pace, the focus has shifted to one key question: who will ultimately be held accountable for the alleged use of pellet guns against protesters?
