Delhi Police dismisses claims circulating online that a woman protester suffered a gunshot injury during violence in central Delhi on July 20. In a statement, police say the allegation is not supported by the woman’s medico-legal certificate (MLC) prepared at Dr Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital on the day of the incident. Police report that the MLC records a wound described as blunt in nature near the woman’s right ear, with doctors classifying it as simple, and it does not mention any gunshot injury. Police urge the public to verify information before sharing such assertions on social media, calling the gunshot-injury claim baseless.
Both sources describe the same core basis for the police position: the official MLC does not indicate a gunshot wound, while the injury is documented as a simple blunt-force injury near the right ear. One report also notes that the woman later visited a private hospital in Gurugram where another medical document was reportedly prepared, but police reiterate that the original MLC remains the official record used for the case.
