Earlier, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav stated that crime in the state has peaked and that the morale of “criminals” has grown by leaps and bounds.
“Crime has reached a peak in UP, and criminal morale is high. When someone can be openly killed despite being surrounded by a security cordon, one can only imagine how the general public feels. The public is being instilled with fear as a result of this (alleged encounter killings). It appears that some people are purposefully creating such an atmosphere “Akhilesh Yadav posted on Twitter.
