Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi has written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, demanding accountability for the violent crackdown on student protesters in Delhi.The letter comes amid widespread outrage over the use of pellet guns, lathis, and tear gas by security forces during the July 20 protests.The agitation began in June when activists demanded the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over exam irregularities.After police forcibly hospitalized hunger striker Sonam Wangchuk, tensions escalated, leading to a brutal crackdown that injured dozens.

Gandhi's letter highlights media reports of severe injuries, including a journalist, and accuses security forces under Shah's command of using excessive force.The Congress leader calls for an apology from the Delhi Police and action against those responsible for violence.Meanwhile, the Central Reserve Police Force is investigating pellet gun usage, with unconfirmed reports of seven rounds fired in Connaught Place.The Opposition plans to raise the issue in Parliament as protests spread nationwide.
