Experts have confirmed that the wounds sustained by protesters in India’s so‑called ‘cockroach’ movement are consistent with pellet‑gun fire. The injuries were reported following a series of demonstrations that drew attention to the use of non‑lethal weapons by authorities. The confirmation underscores the severity of the clashes and raises concerns about the force used against civilians. While officials have yet to comment on the incident, the findings add to growing scrutiny of protest policing methods in the country.
