    Police should have gone with more force to handle this type of Mafia gangs. These gangs are more professionals with ready to kill mindsets. Even,they are so daring that they might have refused to bribe and threatened the police.

    Problem vs solution:
    India is blessed with GABBRO...Granites..
    Abundant spread of Quarry stones..
    so. import Chinese crushers and start Crushing the Boulders and produce SAND day and night..while protecting the environment..
    and supply to the whole of india...
    not simply JUGAAD simply scraping the river sand ..
    easy come and causing havoc and burning and killing the officers for doing their duty..honestly..
    In this case time for the JANATH/PUBLIC/PEOPLE to unite and simply Lynch the murderers/ their bosses/ Immaterial who they are ..Just FINISH them..
    Let the LAW follow its course when it happens..
    But STOP this curse..
    instantly..
    Action needed.
