Modi govt says no ‘goli’ fired at CJP protest, but Rahul sticks to ‘pellets’ claim, cites medical evidence

The Indian government has denied using bullets during the July 20 'Chalo Sansad' protest organized by the Cockroach Janta Party, while opposition figures and media reports suggest that pellet guns were used, causing injuries. Minister of State Jitendra Singh stated that only tear gas shells were deployed and that no bullets were fired, dismissing Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's claims. Gandhi insists that pellet guns were used, citing medical evidence from a victim and an AIIMS report. Delhi Police has refuted claims of gunshot injuries, stating that medical reports indicate only blunt-force trauma, not gunshot wounds.

Bias read (Center): The article presents both the government's denial of bullet usage and the opposition's claims of pellet injuries, including medical evidence from Rahul Gandhi and a rebuttal from Delhi Police. The framing appears balanced, presenting opposing viewpoints without overtly favoring one side.
