A statement by DSP Anjuguri Manzah, the Public Relations Officer of the Command said, “The Command seizes this medium to sternly warn those recruited as thugs to cause mayhem and those nursing the thought of disrupting the peaceful conduct of the forthcoming election to either jettison the thought or be prepared to be arrested and dealt with in accordance with the provisions of the law.
“Leaders of all political parties are therefore advised in their best interest to rein in on their supporters to eschew any act that could lead to the breakdown of law and order and subvert the peaceful conduct of the election.
“The Command wants to reiterate that those arrested while trying to interrupt the election will be prosecuted.
“Their sponsors, political party leaders and all those fingered to be behind such criminal act will also not be spared from arrest and prosecution by the police”.
