‘It is decided to review after every major operation’
DG Gyanendra Pratap Singh said that the actions of RAF soldiers will be professionally reviewed after the incident. The RAF is part of the CRPF and is trained to prevent riots, handle crowds and deal with disturbances. Conducting such review after every major operation in CRPF is part of the prescribed procedure (SOP). In this review it will be seen when and under what circumstances the pellet gun was fired and why action had to be taken against the protesters. It will also be investigated how the incident happened and whether the pellet gun was used as per the rules or not.
The CRPF has a presence across India and is known for its ability to quickly adapt to the needs of different situations, working closely with state police. In the last few years, it has established itself as one of the most liked forces among both the public and the state administration.
