Investigations galore but no result…as soon as some big name comes out the whole thing dies down….Nab Chacko and Mukesh Singh for their crimes…Where is the inquiry against T Chacko ??? Then maybe normalcy and police atrocities and propaganda will come down…we want facts…..Why are these cops not removed from service….clean the force and then bring in human beings that do not pay their way in, do not extort, do not intimidate, do not threaten witnesses, do not go by suspects but by facts and proper investigations, do not torture, do not go back on their words, and who serve the State with out fear for transfers….
