Read the story. It mentions that Delhi Police has denied using pellets. Pellet guns and shock-batons are part of RAF gear, which was working alongside Delhi Police and deployed in and around Jantar Mantar on July 20. RAF is a part of CRPF. The central armed police forces are deployed on the request of the State police, in this case- Delhi Police.
Irshad and his friend were near the Connaught Place area when Irshad was injured, his friend said, and the weapon used was wielded by an RAF jawan from around 40-50 meters away. He and his friend did not see anyone else hit by a similar weapon @thewire_in

The Hindu reports that the pellet gun was fired by the RAF near Palika Bazar on Monday. The police denial carries little weight in front of this real life evidence. From Kashmir and Manipur, to inside the national capital now - this is how the new Indian state operates.
Democracy in India is happening right now! The Leader of India’s Opposition is being dragged by Narendra Modi’s cops away from a peaceful sit-in protest. Delhi is under siege by Modi’s police.
A child was seen crying as police detained her father during the CJP protest in Delhi demanding the Education Minister's resignation, Maktoob journalist Kasim reports.
Watch:
Wow! Parliament just got heated. 🔥
Akhilesh Yadav is in full angry young man mode in Parliament:
"This isn't about the BJP, Congress, or the Samajwadi Party. How dare you lathi-charge students? If the minister doesn't resign, we'll be back on the streets!"
Shifa-Ur-Rehman: 2277 days
Tahir Hussain: 2329 days
Sharjeel Imam: 2366 days
Umar Khalid: 2137 days
Shahrukh Pathan: 2333 days
Khalid Saifi: 2241 days
Meeran Haider: 2272 days
Over 5–6 years in jail without trial.
For the peaceful protest.
Let that sink in.
Tear gas and batons. Suspended metro services and mobile internet. Reported unnecessary and excessive use of force against peaceful protesters. Demonstrators in India were marching towards parliament to demand the resignation of a Union education minister following alleged examination paper leaks that affected millions of students. The Delhi Police responded with violent crackdowns.
Indian authorities must ensure that all allegations of unlawful conduct against these Cockroach Party-led protests are promptly, independently, and impartially investigated.
