Multiple reports cite a police document indicating that RAF personnel fire munitions during the July 20 protests in Delhi on orders from a senior police officer. The document, described through official records quoted by outlets, says the action is carried out at the direction of the Delhi Commissioner of Police (DCP) or senior police command. It specifies the types and quantities of rounds used, including non-electric shells, electric shells, tear smoke grenades, and rounds fired from anti-riot guns. One report additionally refers to non-lethal plastic pellets, describing that two rounds of plastic pellets are fired. Another report frames the same figures in more detail and characterizes the pellets as fired by the RAF on orders of the Delhi police, while also listing the number of other shells and grenades fired. Both accounts rely on the same police-record information and describe the use of riot-control munitions during the protest period. The reports do not provide independent verification beyond the cited document, but present the recorded munition breakdown as the main common point.
