After the scathing attack by miscreants on a couple from Switzerland, in Agra's Fatehpur Sikri last month, the state government and the police were severely criticised. But within a few days since the attack took place on October 22, the UP Police on Friday released a 'get well soon' booklet. In an event organised by the police department, a book consisting of Twitter messages was unveiled by Director General of Police (DGP) Sulkhan Singh, ADG (crime) Chandra Prakash, and Additional to DGP Sanjay Singhal. Titled "Get Well Soon Marie and Jeremy", the messages for the 76-pages booklet were handpicked. After the assault came to the forefront, the UP Police had started an online campaign with the hashtag #GWSMarieAndJeremy, where Twitter users were asked to share their message of healing for the duo, Quentin Jeremy Clerc, and his partner Marie Droz, both 24. @dgpup Sri Sulkhan Singh, ADG crime Chandra Prakash, A2DGP Sanjay Singhal, releasing t booklet containing 'Get Well soon' tweets 4 #Swiss nationals Mary & Jeremy.

Initially, our focus was to arrest the guilty and bring them to book, and after that, we thought of the Swiss couple and their ordeal and decided to express our solidarity with them through this gesture in the form of a booklet," Srivastava told IANS.
