Kolkata, 4/7: West Bengal Director General of Police Manoj Malviya, on Tuesday, said that he disagrees with the claim that there’s a lot of violence taking place in the state.
Addressing reporters, Malviya said that the state is in an adequately controlled position. “I completely disagree with your talk – that’s there’s a lot of violence taking place here,” he said.
Malviya said that incidents more-or-less keep taking place even in the absence of elections. “After the elections, I will definitely interact with you all, and will share with you the statistics, and share whether the numbers (concerning incidents) have increased, or have taken a dip,” he said.
The DGP added that there have been two-to-three incidents where police have taken prompt action. He said that there are clear instructions from higher-up authority, beyond doubt, that in any type of incident police will react and bring it under control.
