For the first time, Uttar Pradesh Police has accepted that they have opened fire during the protests that erupted across the state since last week after the agitation against the Citizenship Act turned violent. Fifteen people have died in the state, many of them from bullet injuries. But the state police had maintained that it has not fired a single bullet at protesters anywhere. But now, the police in western Uttar Pradesh's Bijnor have told NDTV that of the two protestors killed in the town, one of them, was killed in police firing.
