Odisha Director General of Police, R P Sharma today said no incident of child-lifting has occurred in any part of the state till date.
"Some people with an intention to create panic in the society, are trying to spread rumour about the child-lifting racket being active in Odisha which is absolutely baseless and false," Sharma said.
The DGP in a advisory cautioned the people not to take law into own hands. He also told them not to post rumours on social media.
Sharma said "as the head of the state police, I assure all that no such incident of child lifting has occurred in any part of the state till date."
