Speaking about increasing incidents of crime, Engr Salim said, “This is a matter of great concern that people are taking law in their own hands. Accused seem to have lost fear of law. We want police to take quick and strict action that will create fear of law among those intending to do crime”.
However, he said, “Some selfish people are unfortunately trying to give a communal colour to the issue. But we would like to appreciate the family of Rahul that they have maintained calm and unemotional behaviour. Without giving a religious or communal colour to the incident, they have demanded action against the guilty persons. This is highly appreciable”
