This is also one of the major causes of spurt in crime in the state. There is urgent need to not just catch the small fries but the big fish need to be brought to book as per law of the land. In this connection it would be appropriate for S. Majithia to resign on moral grounds and cooperate in the probe. The government should ensure security to Sh.Shashi Kant.
