UP Police's campaign of action against criminals under the policy of zero tolerance is going on. Two miscreants who shot Sub-Inspector Ajay Yadav posted in Varanasi and looted his service pistol have been killed in an encounter under 'Operation Patal Lok'. After the audacious incident in the Prime Minister's parliamentary constituency, Varanasi Commissioner A.Satish Ganesh had formed several teams to track down the miscreants. This action is also repeating the courage of the UP police, which was shown by the police in the encounter with the main accused Vikas Dubey and his other associates after the famous Bikeru incident. A total of 168 notorious criminals have been killed in police encounters since March 20, 2017, under the Yogi government.

Hashtags run on internet media praising the Yogi government and the UP police have also been in the top trend.
