Back from hospital after undergoing knee surgery, the home minister returned to work promising to fill up all vacant posts in the police department and also to make Hyderab-ad a safe and smart city. “We will take stringent action against those harassing wom-en and into other illegal activities in Hyderabad and the state.

When his attention was drawn to the attack on a girl by a youth and the youth committing suicide, the home minister said, “It’s a personal affair. The boy seemed to be deeply in love with the girl.
