Bengaluru: the increase of attacks on police officers by police by miscreants, Police Commissioner T Sunil Kumar has issued an order for police to open fire on such miscreants in self defence.
The commissioner said that the police are given arms to open fire in case of emergencies. They can now open fire on miscreants for self defence in case they attack on them. He said that the orders were issued to police to take strict action against ‘Rowdism’ in the city.
