It was a bullet which was fired at 22-year-old D. Rakesh, killing him, amid the violent anti-Agnipath protests at the Secunderabad railway station on Friday. The other 13 protesters, who suffered injuries and are undergoing treatment at Gandhi Hospital here, had been hit by pellets.
At a press meet on Sunday, Government Railway Police-Secunderabad SP B. Anuradha was urged to reveal the kind of injury that the sole victim sustained. She said Rakesh had received a “bullet injury”.
A total of 20 rounds were fired during the protests. Of those, she said, one was a bullet and the rest were pellets.
