He shared a video showcasing his conversations with the injured. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has spoken to students injured during the NEET protests in Bihar, sharing a video of his interaction and questioning the use of force against demonstrators. In a post accompanying the video, Gandhi said the students had only demanded "education, employment and accountability" and alleged that some were shot with AK-47 bullets. He highlighted the case of a student whose leg was allegedly wounded by a bullet, saying his dream of joining the Army had been destroyed. "Imagine, what sin had these children committed that they were shot? They had only asked the government for three things—education, employment, and accountability. The bone in one student's leg was shattered by an AK-47 bullet. His dream of joining the army and serving the nation vanished along with it. Bullets tore through the shoulders of two other students," he wrote. Gandhi also alleged that two other students suffered bullet injuries to their shoulders and questioned the government over the impact of the violence on young protesters. Addressing Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, he asked whether their "shattered dreams" could be restored even after their physical injuries heal. "They were not criminals. They were the children from poor families who had stepped out to study carrying their families' dreams—some wanted a good job, some wanted to change their family's circumstances. The bullet wounds will heal—but where is the hospital that treats the fear that has now settled deep inside these children? Prime Minister ji, Chief Minister ji—their broken bones will mend. Can you restore their shattered dreams?" he asked. The Bihar government last month transferred 17 senior IPS officers, including SPs of Bhojpur and Siwan where police action had triggered massive controversies. As per the circular issued by the state Home Department, the government has transferred Siwan Superintendent of Police (SP) Pooran Kumar Jha. Notably, Jha -- under whose command an AK-47 rifle was allegedly used during a student protest in Siwan on July 25 -- has been placed on the waiting list for a new posting. On July 25, during student protests in Bihar's Siwan district, a police constable -- Abhishek Kumar -- was seen using the rifle during the demonstration. The video of the incident went viral on social media. Kumar was subsequently suspended and departmental proceedings were initiated against him.
