He said that it is painful to see anybody die. “It pains the most when somebody dies. Youth should not rush towards encounter sites.”
When asked about Asifa rape and murder case, DGP said that police has no problem with CBI handling the case but added taht Jammu and Kashmir police is as competent as CBI.
Vaid shared that post Burhan Wani episode was his most challenging task to maintain law and order.
