"Those spreading anarchy will not be spared. Strict action will be taken against those who indulged in violence," warned the chief minister, speaking to journalists in Gorakhpur.
Fearing attacks from rooftops on cops that are currently carrying out raids in Kasganj, the force used drones to carry out a surveillance of sensitive areas on Tuesday.
As the police teams walked through narrow lanes with houses separated by a few metres making it difficult to assess an attack, cops monitoring the images on the unarmed aerial vehicles (UAVs) gave them real-time information to the search patrols about the situation prompting them to go ahead.
On Tuesday, the police began search operations at around 3.30 pm in selective locations in the Baddu Nagar area where clashes have taken place. This is the area where the accused allegedly plotted Chandan Gupta's murder. Gupta was fired at from a rooftop. The main accused have been identified as Wasim, Saleem and Nasim.
