Stun grenades were not used during AMU protest: Aligarh SSP

Aligarh Senior Superintendent of Police Akash Kulhari on Monday said he was ready to face an inquiry over allegations on social media that stun grenades were used by police during a protest by AMU students last week.

However, the officer could not confirm if the non-lethal weapon was used by the Rapid Action Force (RAF), saying police will speak to the paramilitary force's officials to "ascertain the truth."
During protests against the amended law on December 14, the SSP had successfully averted any form of violent protests by saying, "Mahatma Gandhi, the father of the nation, is my idol and I promise you that if you protest peacefully, I will ensure that your concerns and demands are addressed suitably."
The association's secretary, Najmul Islam told PTI, "Kulhari's initiative is commendable since we are able to register our anguish in a peaceful democratic manner."
