CRPF Chief Backs Police Personnel Amid Pellet Gun Row, Says ‘Work Fearlessly, I’ll Take Responsibility’ During Chalo Sansad Protest Over NEET Paper Leak
CRPF Chief tells Police Personnel to work fearlessly amid Pellet Gun row after Chalo Sansad Protest at Jantar Mantar over NEET Paper Leak.
CRPF Chief’s Big Message to Police Personnel Amid Pellet Gun Row: ‘Work Fearlessly, I’ll Take Responsibility’
The CRPF has come out strongly in support of its Police Personnel following the controversy surrounding the alleged use of the Pellet Gun during the Chalo Sansad march linked to the CJP-led Protest over the NEET Paper Leak. In a morale-boosting message to the force, CRPF Director General G.P. Singh reportedly told personnel to continue performing their duties without fear, assuring them that he would take responsibility for actions carried out in the line of duty.
The statement comes after intense political debate and public scrutiny over the security response during the demonstration at Jantar Mantar, where protesters demanding accountability in the NEET Paper Leak case clashed with security forces.
CRPF Chief Stands Firm Behind Police Personnel
Addressing officers and troops, the CRPF chief encouraged Police Personnel to continue their responsibilities confidently despite criticism surrounding the Pellet Gun incident.
According to reports, G.P. Singh said that personnel acting in good faith while maintaining law and order should not hesitate in carrying out their duties. He assured the force that leadership would stand behind them if they followed operational guidelines and standard procedures.
The message has been viewed as an effort to boost morale among officers deployed during large-scale protests and public demonstrations.
What Sparked the Pellet Gun Controversy?
The controversy began after the Chalo Sansad march organised by the CJP witnessed clashes between protesters and security personnel in Delhi.
Thousands of students and supporters had gathered to protest against the alleged NEET Paper Leak, demanding examination reforms and accountability. As protesters attempted to march toward Parliament, security forces intervened to prevent them from crossing restricted areas.
During the confrontation, allegations emerged that Pellet Gun rounds were used by Rapid Action Force (RAF) personnel, leading to injuries among some protesters. The incident quickly became a major political issue.
CRPF Review on the Incident
A preliminary review conducted by the CRPF reportedly concluded that standard operating procedures (SOPs) were followed during the operation.
According to the internal assessment, security personnel first attempted crowd-control measures such as announcements, barricading, tear gas and other non-lethal methods before resorting to authorised use of Pellet Gun rounds under operational protocols. The review also noted that some personnel allegedly faced attacks with stones and iron rods during the violence.
However, the findings have not ended the debate, with opposition leaders and several activists continuing to demand an independent investigation.
Political Reactions Over the Protest
The Pellet Gun controversy has triggered heated discussions inside and outside Parliament.
Opposition parties criticised the handling of the Protest, demanding accountability for injuries suffered by demonstrators. The issue even disrupted proceedings in Parliament, where opposition members sought a statement from the Union Home Minister regarding the incident.
Several political leaders argued that peaceful protesters should not face excessive force, while the government maintained that law enforcement agencies acted according to established procedures.
Jantar Mantar Protest and NEET Paper Leak
The demonstration at Jantar Mantar was primarily organised to highlight concerns over the alleged NEET Paper Leak, which has sparked nationwide outrage among students and parents.
The CJP called for education reforms, stricter action against those responsible for examination irregularities, and accountability from government authorities. Thousands of students participated in the movement, making it one of the largest youth protests in recent months.
As security arrangements were tightened across Delhi, additional CRPF companies and other central armed police forces were deployed to maintain law and order during the protests.
Importance of Leadership During Sensitive Operations
Security experts believe that public support from senior leadership is essential during challenging law-and-order situations.
The CRPF chief’s assurance to Police Personnel reflects the importance of maintaining confidence within the force while ensuring accountability and adherence to legal procedures. Such messages are often intended to reassure officers working under stressful conditions during large public gatherings.
At the same time, experts emphasise that operational transparency and independent reviews remain equally important to maintain public trust whenever force is used during demonstrations.
The Road Ahead
The Pellet Gun row continues to remain a politically sensitive issue as investigations and public discussions move forward.
While the CRPF leadership has expressed confidence that Police Personnel acted according to protocol, opposition parties and civil society groups continue to seek greater transparency regarding the events during the Chalo Sansad Protest at Jantar Mantar over the NEET Paper Leak.
The coming weeks are expected to witness further debate in Parliament and possible reviews of crowd-control practices. Meanwhile, the CRPF has reiterated its commitment to maintaining public order while ensuring that personnel perform their duties professionally, responsibly and fearlessly.
