The CRPF has announced a professional post-event assessment of the Rapid Action Force's conduct during the anti-NEET protests. This review will evaluate the use of pellet guns and adherence to standard operating procedures.
Why it matters

The RAF is a specialised wing of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) trained for riot control, crowd management, and handling civil unrest.”
