Attacks on cops will be strictly dealt with: Gujarat DGP

AHMEDABAD: While speaking to reporters this Saturday, Gujarat DGP Shivanand Jha said once again that the administration will deal most strictly with those who attack police and Covid frontline warriors.
Informing that until now 68 such miscreants in 28 cases have been jailed under PASA for attacking police and Covid warriors, Jha said, “Attacks on police will not be tolerated and anyone involved will not be spared.”

“Two persons who mobbed a PSI in Sola and one who attacked a policeman in Rajkot rural have already been sent under PASA to different jails across the state,” Jha said.
Referring to the issue of migrant workers, Jha said the government is acting with speed to send them to their home states, but the workers will have to keep patience and cannot take law into their hands.
Jha urged migrant workers not to pay heed to rumours. “Migrant workers gathered in Gota in Ahmedabad and Icchapor in Surat after being misled by rumours. We cannot send anyone back without approval from their home states,” Jha said.
He added, “A man in Mehsana was booked for spreading rumours and held under PASA.” He added rumourmongers can create rift between communities and cause greater spread of Covid-19.
