Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Kaushal Kishore has attacked the Lucknow Police for its style of functioning, alleging criminals had a free run in the city.
Referring to the killing of a property dealer in Lucknow, Kishore, Member of Parliament from Mohanlalganj, said on Twitter on Sunday that there is no check on criminals in the city.
“Negative approach of the police has emboldened criminals in Lucknow. Cases of loot and murder continue unabated,” Kishore said in a tweet in Hindi. The MP tagged UP director-general of police, OP Singh.
The property dealer, Prahlad Pandey, was killed reportedly in the presence of police in Lucknow’s SGPGI area on Saturday.The police, however, solved the case in 24 hours and arrested the main accused. A fisherman was also killed in Lucknow in broad daylight on Sunday over a petty dispute.
