Shivhare said the chief minister takes every crime in the state very seriously and personally ensures that the crime rate in the state does not rise at any costs.

On Monday, Yogi Adityanath also announced a Rs 40 lakh compensation for Singh’s wife, Rs 10 lakh for his parents and a government job for a member of his family.
