“The command, therefore, wishes to inform the general public that the viral report making the round is not only misleading but capable of creating panic and an attempt by the authors to paint the police and other sister security agencies in bad light.
​
“To this end , the CP appealed the general public to be calm as the command under his watch will continue to ensure the safety of residence.”
