Minister Sanjay Nishad reinforced the government’s zero‑tolerance policy, noting that investigations can take time but the priority remains swift justice for victims. He claimed that the past Samajwadi Party regime used police force to suppress dissent, whereas the current administration acts firmly against crime. Nishad condemned opposition leaders for trying to paint the encounter as a political stunt.
