While asking about mugging, extortion, Jahangir Alam said, “I do not deny that mugging and extortion incidents are happening. However, those who are doing these things, are also being caught. And it is true that those who are getting released, are also doing such things. We are trying to reduce robbery and extortion in any way.”

“There is enough police personnel in the country but they are not working with interest like previous. We are trying to inspire them.” Responding to a question about top listed criminals, who are now on bail, adviser Jahangir Alam said, “They will be brought under trial very soon.”
