The orders to this effect have been issued owing to the gross negligence and indifferent attitude of the concerned police officials in connection with the killing of leading advocate and businessman Binoy Kumar Ghosh by a dacoit gang that burgled his residence in Mangaldoi town.
Gogoi in a statement directed police officials to act promptly in cases relating to theft, burglary, and other crimes.
Gogoi warned that deterrent action would be taken against any police official for dereliction of duties.
