Victim businessman thanks
Bharat Soni, a gold and silver trader who suffered at the hands of STF and police action, is very happy. He informed the media about the manner in which the police station, STF and SP Sultanpur took action. We are very satisfied that the case will be opened without any defects. He said that we are very satisfied with the actions of the Yogi government. Perhaps if there had been any other government or governance we would not have had such great satisfaction.
