7月20日，数万名蟑螂人党支持者在印度首都德里举行抗议活动，要求教育改革和教育部长辞职1。警察和准军事部队用木棒、警棍和催泪瓦斯攻击人群1。根据官方数据，60名抗议者和118名警务人员在冲突中受伤，但蟑螂人党声称实际伤亡人数更多1。
独立弹道专家对多名受伤抗议者进行检验后，确认他们的伤口与散弹枪射击一致1。英国弹道取证科学家菲利普·博伊斯表示："这些伤口肯定是由散弹枪造成的"，武器为"12口径泵动式霰弹枪"1。ARES主任詹森-琼斯指出，散弹枪"在距离至少50英尺处可能仍然造成毁灭性伤害"1。
多名抗议者伤情严重1。28岁记者莫希特的右肘有26处散弹伤口、右上背4处伤口1。谢赫·伊尔沙德·曼苏里体内超过40发散弹，包括颈部、左眼肌肉下和鼻子下方各有1发1。19岁学生萨希尔·洛查布面部一侧和右臂背部布满伤洞，可能失去一只眼睛1。印度媒体报道称，散弹由隶属中央预备警察部队的快速行动部队发射1。
不过，政府官员吉滕德拉·辛格在议会声称只使用了催泪瓦斯，没有射击"子弹"，但未就散弹枪使用情况置评1。印度政府和警方一直未正式承认使用了散弹枪1。
Tens of thousands of supporters of India's Cockroach Party gathered in central Delhi on July 20 to protest against education policies and demand the resignation of the education minister.1 Police and paramilitary forces responded with batons, canes, and tear gas against the demonstrators.1 According to official figures, 60 protesters and 118 police personnel were injured, though the party claimed the actual number of injured was higher.1
Independent ballistics experts have since examined injured protesters and determined that their wounds are consistent with pellet-gun fire.1 British forensic ballistics scientist Philip Boyce stated that "these wounds are definitively caused by pellet guns," identifying the weapons as "12-gauge pump-action shotguns."1 NR Jenzen-Jones, director of ARES, noted that pellet guns "can still cause devastating injuries at distances of at least 50 feet."1 Indian media reports attributed the pellet fire to the Rapid Action Force, a unit of the Central Reserve Police Force.1
The injuries documented on individual protesters support these expert assessments. Mohit, a 28-year-old journalist, sustained 26 pellet wounds to his right elbow and four additional wounds to his upper right back.1 Shaikh Irshad Mansoori was struck by over 40 pellets embedded in his body, including single strikes to his neck, below his left eye muscle, and beneath his nose.1 Sahil Lochab, a 19-year-old student, suffered extensive wounds across one side of his face and the back of his right arm, risking permanent eye damage.1 Despite these injuries, the Indian government has not formally acknowledged the use of pellet guns; government official Jitendra Singh told parliament that only tear gas was deployed and denied firing "bullets," without specifically addressing shotgun use.1
