Soon after entering the office of ASP Anurag Pandey, the MLA went down on his feet in a fully prone position. He begged the ASP to either take action against the drug mafias or get him killed at the hands of the goons.
The MLA alleged that the entire district is in the grip of mafias dealing in drugs and alcohol but the police donot take any action despite repeated requests and complaints.
According to Mauganj SP Rasna Thakur, the matter came to her knowledge only after the MLA submitted an application. She said acting on the MLA’s complaint, a police team has been formed and the police are taking regular action against anyone involved in drugs racket and alcohol smuggling.
