Security Review Underway After Violent CJP Protest
Security forces are reviewing what happened during a protest led by the CJP near Parliament in New Delhi.
The protest started peacefully, but some people in the crowd became violent and tried to march towards a high-security area.
Security forces, including the Delhi Police and the Rapid Action Force (RAF), used tear gas, water cannons, and lathi charges to control the situation.
There are concerns about whether the security forces used too much force, especially after some protesters started throwing stones.
A pellet gun was also used by an RAF jawan, which is usually used in riot situations.
The review is looking at whether the security forces followed the right procedures and if any of them used too much force.
