‘I couldn’t feel my arm’: Hospital record notes protester’s ‘pellet’ injuries
“When those pellet-like things hit my hand, I thought I was going to lose my arm forever. I could not feel it for hours,” said 25-year-old Prashant Singh, who allegedly suffered pellet-like injuries on July 20 near the Jantar Mantar protest site. A native of Bihar, Singh was rushed to Lady Hardinge Hospital, where he was treated for his injuries. His discharge paper, accessed by HT, reads: “Multiple pellet injuries to the right upper limb, chest and inguinal region.” I felt I could not feel my right arm. My friend then rushed me to Lady Hardinge hospital.

Before July 20, I had also gone to the protest. Similarly, I was there for the July 20 Sansad Chalo march,” he said.
