The state police, which is continuing with its encounter spree, posted the message on Twitter on April Fools' Day and warned those who take law in their hands. But ofcourse, it was not plain and simple.
The encounters took place in Saharanpur, Ghaziabad, Gautam Buddha Nagar and Muzaffarnagar districts in 24 hours.
A police spokesperson said that the encounters took place in Bulandshahr, Shamli, Kanpur, Saharanpur, Lucknow, Baghpat, Muzaffarnagar, Gorakhpur, Hapur and Meerut.
In last 10 months, 31 criminals have been gunned down by police in 921 encounters and more than 2000 goons were sent behind the bars. Also three police personnel have lost their lives in encounters.
Yogi Adityanath said that soon after the BJP formed the government "it started seriously working on making the state crime-free and corruption-free".
Taking cognizance of the matter, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanahth has now ordered a probe. An ADG level official has been appointed to investigate the case.
The entire process will see officials meeting candidates to counsel them and also making surprise checks to see if they are at home. The process will be kept secret and the candidates’ identities will not be disclosed to anyone.
