According to the statement, “the Command unequivocally condemns the action of the angry mob who resorted to meting out jungle justice on the suspects instead of handing them over to the Police for discreet investigation and prosecution.”

While reassuring the public of its unwavering commitment to fight one-chance robbery and reduce the crime to its barest minimum, the Command enjoined the public to be security-conscious and report all suspicious persons or activities to the nearest police formation or contact the Command Control Room on the following Police emergency numbers: 08032003913, 08061581938, 07057337653 and 08028940883.
