'FIR only after Shah's OK': Rahul on case lodged over protester's pellet injury

NEW DELHI: Lok Sabha leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi on Friday said the FIR registered over student protester Sahil Lochab’s alleged pellet-gun injury during the July 20 march is the “first step towards justice”.Showing a copy of the FIR, the Congress leader claimed that the “final okay” for registering the case had to come from home Secretary and union home minister Amit Shah."This is the first step towards justice. The case has been registered. It has been a month since he was hit by that bullet. Pellets are still lodged in his body; three are in his eye, and he cannot see out of it. Three or four are near his heart. A grave injustice has been done to this young man. We arrived here at 11:00 or 11:30 this morning. We have been here all this time - it is now nearly a quarter to seven -
