THE RAVINES of Chambal have been freed from dacoits barring Jagjeevan Parihar and he too would be nailed down soon as the police department has chalked out a strategy for the same, according to Director-General of Police Bua Singh.
He was speaking to mediapersons after holding a review meeting of 13 districts falling under Kanpur zone here in Kanpur on Sunday. The districts are Kanpur Nagar and Dehat, Fatehpur, Kannauj, Auraiya, Etawah, Mainpuri, Agra, Aligarh, Mathura, Ferozabad, Hathras and Etah.
The DGP also said that there was no political pressure on the police force in dealing with law and order in the State. He said in the last three days alone 30,000 criminals had been sent to jails across the State as part of a two-month-long campaign launched by the police department to curb crime in the State.
Bua Singh said, “The department has done a commendable job in arresting several criminals and Sub-Inspector RB Singh posted in Badayun became a martyrdom. The department would make available Rs 10 lakh to his kin as ex gratia.”
He also said that police officials were free to conduct independent probe without any political pressure. However, he cautioned some tainted cops and said, “Police officials who have nexus with criminals would not be allowed to flourish … all such officials would either be suspended.”
