Chandigarh: Punjab Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav has given a big statement on the killing of the accused of Amritsar Thakurdwara temple grenade attack in a police encounter.
DGP clarified on Monday that the "bullet for bullet" policy is not aggressive, but rather a self-defence mechanism. He said the police aim to work within the law, conduct professional investigations, and punish the accused through the courts. However, when faced with firing, the police will retaliate in self-defence.
DGP Gaurav Yadav also highlighted a significant problem of heroin and pharmaceutical drugs coming from across the border. He said, "Pharmaceutical drugs and synthetic drugs are also a big problem. We have busted few rackets of pharmaceutical drugs. There is a need to bring back the drug-addicted victims in mainstream,"
