Law enforcement agencies to check if people were being provoked

Aurangabad | Saturday | 18th August, 2018

Summary:

All the violence and suicides have been reported only in the last one month, forcing us to check and cross check different angles including that of provocation and the people behind the stir. "Sources informed that the process of gathering intelligence on the provocation angle was underway in all the districts affected by the agitation. However, that the suicides and the violence continued even after the high court asked the commission to submit a report, is something to be taken into consideration. "When contacted, Aurangabad district collector Uday Choudhari confirmed the development but refused to speak much on the issue.Another officer said, "It is alright if the agitators don't want to trust the government or the administration. "During the agitation, there have been several incidents on record when the attempts to incite violence in an agitation were thwarted by the police in different districts of Marathwada region," said a superintendent of police who himself has registered such incidents on record in his district..
