Police need to chase and take to custody the law breaches than using firearms. Maintain law and order

First send them to shooting school and get trained well. Then teach them that they shouldn't shoot at bystanders..

Showing pictures of a three wheeler does not tell the story. Tell us what was in the vehicle.

The bullet marks on the canopy of the three wheeler indicates that the suspects had been standing inside the vehicle hugging each other. via DM iPad app
