“Such culprits will face the dire consequences of their actions.
“Enough of “Yan Jagaliya” clusters loitering around Government House and similar offices, disrupting governance.
“The leader of these eight thugs, without remorse, led his team to the venue again and ‘did the done’ until the crime prevention patrol team apprehended them,” the commissioner warned.
He said the suspected thugs had constituted themselves as a pressure group and supporters of one of the infamous politicians who attempted to cause the breakdown of law and order.
Currently, the suspects are at the Command’s Criminal Investigation Department CID, undergoing investigations. The Police will bring them to justice as provided by the law, he said.
The Commissioner thanked the good people of the state for their support and cooperation with the command. He reiterated the command’s determination to deal with miscreants or their sponsors.
