Pellet Gun Injuries in NEET Protest Raise Health Concerns

Medical professionals have cautioned that injuries sustained from pellet guns used by police during student protests over alleged NEET examination irregularities could lead to permanent damage to critical body parts. The protests, which saw clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement, resulted in several reports of pellet injuries circulating on social media. In response, the CRPF stated that non‑lethal methods were employed after conventional measures proved ineffective. Both protesters and Rapid Action Force personnel were reported injured, with potential long‑term effects ranging from visual impairment to emotional distress. The incident has sparked a debate over the use of pellet guns in crowd control and the need for stricter medical monitoring of affected individuals.
