Uttar Pradesh gets new DGP Sulkhan Singh
Newly-appointed Uttar Pradesh police chief Sulkan Singh on Saturday promised to take action against “anyone indulging in vigilantism in the name of gau raksha”, insisting that he has the support of chief minister Yogi Adityanath to start launch a crackdown on lawbreakers. His appointment came in the wake of criticism faced by the state police’s anti-romeo squad for their alleged moral policing in the name of cracking down on people accused of stalking women.
“Action will be taken on anyone indulging in vigilantism in the name of gau raksha or anything else, no one has the right to intervene,” Singh was quoted as saying by the Hindustan Times. He also said the personnel on duty for anti-romeo squads will act and take action only on people with objectionable behavior, according to news agency ANI
