Expressing serious concern over the theft of arms from police armouries, Rio said, "We cannot allow uniformed staff to rob arms and ammunition. It has brought shame to the uniformed services."
Rio asked senior police officers to visit police battalions and companies and ascertain whether they were functioning within rules or not.
