Don’t hesitate to
book cases even if they are ministers in my Cabinet, KCR told the officials.
KCR told them not to go in for knee jerk reaction but to conduct a thorough probe and investigate the case from all possible angles. Stringent punishment should be taken if anyone was found to be supplying drugs or indulging in adulteration. Those indulging in such activities should get rigorous punishment, he added.
