Free hand to police to deal with gangsters in West Bengal: Dilip Ghosh
Speaking at an event, the Kharagpur MLA said the threat culture was now a thing of the past in West Bengal.
West Bengal Panchayat Minister Dilip Ghosh declared on Sunday that the BJP government has granted the police unrestricted authority to confront gangsters in the state. Addressing a gathering, the Kharagpur MLA stated that the "threat culture" in West Bengal has now been eradicated. "I have instructed the police to adopt a zero-tolerance stance towards criminal elements.
No mafia will be permitted to set foot on the soil of Kharagpur," Ghosh declared. "The BJP government has given the police a free hand to tackle mafia and gangsters, regardless of what transpired during the TMC rule in West Bengal," the senior BJP leader emphasized. Ghosh clarified that if the crime is severe and the circumstances warrant it, the police may resort to an encounter as a last resort.
