No guilty person will be allowed to escape the punishment, also no innocent would be charged in this regard. The CPO expressed these views while addressing a meeting of police officers held at his camp office in connection to this case.

Police, being a custodian of law, are intolerable to commit unlawful activity.

CPO Rana directed that, during the investigation after the arrest of the main accused, if the facilitators of the main accused also come to light, they should also be arrested.
He said that during the investigative stages of the case the plaintiff party should be satisfied in every way as to ensure them that when a policeman breaks the law his breach of the law is his solely personal act the result of which he has to bear according to the law.
Rana ordered the concerned officers to keep him informed regarding the investigation of this case daily.
