He said that after being brought to the police station the injured should have been taken to the hospital. The minister said that after a probe action will be taken against the guilty.

Earlier BJP MLA Biranchi Narayan while talking to press outside the assembly said that when a youth named Tabrez was beaten to death at that time many people from different parties and organisations had come on the roads and when in the capital a youth from another community is beaten to death then the same people are sitting silent.
