 In the same case of pointing a revolver, SSP Abhishek Kumar says that a video of the police station in-charge of Kakaroli is being made viral as part of a conspiracy. This video is half. The whole truth is that the police reached here on the information of a clash between two parties. The police tried to block the road and when the police removed them from there, they pelted stones. When this video was recorded, the rioters fled from there and put the women in front. The police tried to control the situation by using mild force. Strict action will be taken against those who pelted stones.

SSP Abhishek said that Inspector Neeraj Kumar of Shahpur police station posted in Rudkali and Inspector Ompal Singh posted in Joli have been suspended for laxity. MP Harendra Malik said that the Election Commission has been informed about every situation.
