IAS officer Ms. Radha Raturi who is currently serving as Additional Chief Secretary, Uttarakhand has condemned the hunt of innocent in any crime. While addressing a press conference she said, Sometimes to solve a crime police of certain state catch innocent & present them as criminal. This is totally unacceptable. Crime should be investigated and solved properly according to the codes. If you punish an innocent then it will result in rise of 99 criminals.”
She also demanded that police should be strengthened and their morale should be boost not only by the government but the society as well. Let it be noted that the press conference was held after the Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand Police are engaged in blame game after a woman was killed in cross-firing between Uttar Pradesh Police and alleged sand mafia in a Uttarakhand village.
