JAMSHEDPUR: State health and disaster management minister Banna Gupta expressed concern over the deteriorating law and order in the Steel City.
When the minister, who is also the local Congress MLA from Jamshedpur West, asked about the recent major incidents of crime which included the loot of Rs 32 lakh in daylight in a busy market area of Bistupur and another robbery at an ornament shop in Sakchi market, Gupta agreed that the crime graph in the city is moving northwards.
On February 14, when employees of Chaganlal Dayaljee, were on their way to a nearby bank to deposit Rs 32 lakh, two bike-borne men wayalaid them on the busy main road, hit them with a pistol butt and escaped with the bag full of money.
