New Delhi, August 21: Delhi Police on Friday registered an FIR in connection with the pellet gun injury case under Sections 118 and 125 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).

The case was registered followed a sit-in protest by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi demanding an FIR over the complaint by pellet gun shelling victim Sahil Lochav. The victim had said that FIR had not been lodged over his complaint.

Sources had earlier said that the complaint is being examined to determine whether a new case can be registered in accordance with the Supreme Court's order.

Section 118 of the BNS deals with voluntarily causing hurt or grievous hurt by dangerous weapons or means, while Section 125 deals with acts endangering the life or personal safety of others.

Rahul Gandhi reached Parliament Street police station earlier in the day and was joined by several party leaders including his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.

"Pellet gun was used at Connaught Place on 20th July. AIIMS report clearly says that there are more than 200 shells inside his body and 3 in his eye. He has lost vision in that eye. There are shells near his heart that cannot be touched. Delhi Police say they did not fire pellet guns. So, there is just one question: someone must have done it...A crime has indeed happened," Rahul Gandhi said earlier.

"We are demanding that an FIR be registered. They told us that they have received order from the top and they cannot file an FIR. We won't budge from here until an FIR is registered...All we demand is justice for this family...In this country, Amit Shah's Home Ministry and Delhi Police personnel won't let justice happen," he added.

Congress members gathered outside the Parliament Street Police Station in support of the party's demand.
