CM Shivakumar issues stern warning to police over criminal activities

Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Saturday issued a stern warning to police personnel against engaging in any illegal deals or criminal activities, stating that strict action would be taken against those found involved.

“Police officers should never be part of any deals or criminal activities. If anyone is found involved, the government will take immediate and uncompromising action. 

Consider this either my request or my directive,” the Chief Minister said while inaugurating 32 state-of-the-art mobile forensic



vans and 75 Bolero patrol vehicles for district police units at Vidhana Soudha.

Praising the Karnataka Police for their recent crackdown on narcotics, Shivakumar announced a cash reward of Rs 10 lakh for the team that successfully busted a major drug trafficking network.

“These new vehicles will strengthen our police force. Soldiers protect our borders, while police safeguard society within the country. Because of their service, people can live in peace. On behalf of the government, I congratulate all our police personnel,” he said.
