Speaking to ANI, Naqvi said "If you do such politics it means you have a serious non-political approach towards sensitive issues. The state government will catch the culprits behind the crime. Nobody needs to play politics on it, unfortunately, some people play politics on everything. The state government is conducting a probe on this and nobody needs to worry on it."
