“This matter has not been swept under the carpet, and we want the public and all the families of the victims to know that nobody can stop us from ensuring that justice is done,” the police commissioner said.
“We will leave no stone unturned and will not be intimidated by anyone. All suspects will be prosecuted, and the courts remain open to hear every case.”
The CP added that about 98 percent of the investigation into the incident had been completed, stressing that the police would continue to take decisive actions to ensure safety across the state.
He also reaffirmed the commitment of the police to their constitutional duty of maintaining law and order, insisting that no individual or group would be allowed to obstruct the course of justice.
