A'bad has emerged as the leading city in Gujarat for police firing incidents, according to the state's annual police report, with rape accused being the most frequently targeted in these shootings.
According to Gujarat Police's annual report for 2022-23, A'bad recorded the highest number of police firing incidents in the state. The report also notes that rape accused were the most frequently shot at among all categories of suspects. Police officials said the shootings were carried out during crowd control operations and arrests, but the high frequency in A'bad has raised concerns about the use of force. The state government has called for a review of police protocols and an independent inquiry into the incidents.
