Sahil, a student, suffered eye injuries during a protest last month against the cancellation of a 2024 Delhi Police recruitment exam. His mother, Jyoti, has been seeking legal action for days, alleging that police deny firing any weapons despite her son's injuries. Rahul Gandhi has visited multiple police stations and the office of the Deputy Commissioner of Police to press for the case to be registered.
