He said they have enough force to deploy during the by election.“We will do whatever is necessary as per the demand of the Election Commission to hold a free, fair and neutral election. I give cent percent guarantee. Observe July 17 by election to find prove of our neutrality. Tell me if you do not find it (neutrality). I will quit as DMP commissioner after rubbing my nose on ground,” said the DMP commissioner.

Faruq said, “Sporadic incidents of mugging were held in the capital during Eid. These matters happened unfortunately though even though we arrested many muggers before Eid. Police are on high alert about these matters.”

He said, “Operation is going on against the muggers. This operation will continue until the capital is freed from muggers. We will do whatever it is needed for this.”
