NEW DELHI: The Centre today told the Supreme Court it was exploring a crowd control option that is akin to rubber bullets but not as lethal as pellet guns that are being used as a last resort to quell violence in the Kashmir Valley.
Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi made this submission after he said that the Centre has examined other alternatives to pellet guns like skunk water, laser dazzler and chilli-filled pava shells which are found to be “not so successful” like the controversial pellet guns.
The submission came after the apex court dubbed as “very important” the issues arising out of the use of pellet guns to deal with violent mobs in the Valley. (AGENCIES)
