Meanwhile, several IPS officers took to Twitter to condemn the continued attack on policemen.

Karnataka IPS officer, D Roopa, said that the assault was a “mockery of the system”. She said if the “strictest action” is not taken against the perpetrators, it will dampen the morale of officers and “embolden hooligans”

Mockery of the system. I only wish people at helm of affairs take strictest action. Else morale of the force suffers n will embolden hooligans to take law into their hands. https://t.co/Dz5Jnpuclw
