Crimes such as murder, extortion and robbery continue to plague various parts of the country despite efforts by law enforcement agencies.

Sub-Inspector Anup Biswas was hospitalised for nearly two weeks after being hit in the head by a chunk of brick during the quota reforms protests in the capital’s Rampura on July 18.
