The state government has suspended Muzaffarnagar police chief, Subhash Chandra Dubey, and launched a departmental enquiry against him for failing to control the violence. The state government has already suspended six police officials earlier.
Addressing reporters at the Police Lines, the chief minister said the Vishnu Sahay judicial panel is probing the communal violence.
"All those found guilty by the panel will be sent to jail, howsoever powerful they might be," he said, adding the rioters would be booked under the stringent National Security Act.
