In a press statement, Paritosh Pankaj said criminal cases would be filed if anyone was found harassing citizens. He instructed station house officers to take stern action if transgenders were caught troubling businessmen or residents.
Ameenpur Inspector P Naresh led the counselling session and advised the group to lead a decent and lawful life like any other citizen.
