Watch: Pistol Wielding Anti-CAA Protester Opens Fire At Cops During Violent Jaffarabad Protest

BySwarajya Staff

An anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) protester during a violent protest in Delhi’s Jaffarabad area opened fire in an attempt to intimidate the cops countering the mob. A video of the same was shared by journalist Saurabh Trivedi.

While the violent mob was busy pelting stones, one protester decided to take the violence to the next level by wielding a gun and began firing rounds close to the head of a police constable in a bid to intimidate the cops.

To the credit of Delhi police head constable Neeraj Dhaiya, he unflinchingly faced the shooter. It may be recalled that during a similar violent anti-CAA protest in Delhi’s Seelampur, a bomb had exploded in a protester’s hand before he could throw it.
