"No one can escape from our clutches...," says MP CM Mohan Yadav on arrest of Raisen rape accused

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) [India], November 28 (ANI): Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Friday asserted that the state government would show zero leniency in the case of the accused arrested for allegedly raping a minor girl in Raisen district.
He also highlighted that Madhya Pradesh is known for good governance, and the state government knows how to deal with those who disobey this system and can prevent them under the relevant legal provisions.
Speaking to reporters, the CM said, "Since its inception, our government has established its identity that it is known for good governance, and everyone should live their lives in their own way, in harmony with the governance system. But those who disobey this system, the government knows how to deal with them and can prevent them under the relevant legal provisions."
"I have received information through the Madhya Pradesh Police about the accused, Salman, who raped an innocent girl in Raisen district. Our police will not let him go, and we would not tolerate even the slightest laxity. The way the police caught him in a brief encounter while he was fleeing, it is certain that no one can escape our clutches," the CM said.
Additionally, the Chief Minister further added if anyone tried to break the law in the state, then strict action would be taken against them.
"I hope that under our management, there is full potential for development and a spirit of inclusiveness in Madhya Pradesh. But if anyone takes the law into their own hands, we will not spare them," the CM said.
Earlier today, the police were carrying the accused to Raisen and their vehicle got punctured in the Kiratnagar village area near Bhojpur in the early hours of Friday. As he was being shifted to another vehicle, the accused snatched a pistol from an official, fired at the police and tried to flee.
