I asked them that we were dropped from the police station at 7:30 pm on Sunday, Where were these PSOs since then. What is the need to chase. Do you want to encounter us? May be Brijbhushan has sent them in the guise of police. Everyone had weapons. May be we will encounter be given.”
Sakshi Malik said – the world is watching the behavior of the players
