Uttar Pradesh’s newly-appointed Police chief Sulkhan Singh on Saturday said he had the support of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to launch a crackdown on those who broke the law, and would take action against “anyone indulging in vigilantism in the name of gau raksha.” Singh’s appointment came in the wake of criticism faced by the state police’s anti-romeo squad for their alleged moral policing in the name of cracking down on people accused of stalking women.
