Tamin ruled out the police claim of sustaining the injury due to tear gas pellet and said that he was shot by the police from a close range, India Today reported. He said, “I wasn’t even protesting. I was passing by from the Okhla area. I was on a bike when suddenly police started lathi charging students.”

The Delhi Police strongly denied the allegations and clearly stated that there were no bullets fired during the protest. Joint Commissioner of Police Devesh Srivastav said, “We have not shot anyone, and we do not have rubber bullet.”

Chinmoy Biswal, a top police official for Delhi’s southeast district, said, “I hope we all understand the meaning of ‘Alleged History of’ on a medical paper. It means what the patient has himself or herself told the duty doctor about the injury while coming for treatment,” to NDTV.
