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.
