Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu directed the Police Department to deal sternly with crimes against women.

‘’It is the need of the hour to instil fear in the minds of potential offenders by enforcing swift and strict action by law enforcement. There is a need to send a strong message that whether a crime is committed in a fit of rage, under the influence of drugs like ganja, or in a planned manner, punishment is inevitable,’‘ he said.
