Actor Pooja Bhatt said, “Law and order. We have laws…what about order? Local police is our first grassroots prevention and defense. It is the duty of law enforcement to create an environment where people with criminal inclinations do not feel comfortable to operate. The patrol officer must act as a deterrent in the prevention of criminal activities.
Actress Raveena Tandon said, “Attacking celebrities in what used to be a safe residential area has become rampant, with Bandra losing to unruly elements, accident scams, hawker mafias, encroachers, land grabbers and criminal elements. “We need stronger measures.”
Director Kunal Kohli exclaimed at the horror of being attacked by an attacker lurking inside one’s home. “It is shocking to find an intruder in the children’s room. Imagine Kareena’s horror as a mother seeing an intruder with a knife in the children’s room.”
