ADG (law and order) Anand Kumar said, "Questioning of the people concerned (marshÂals and sanitation workers) is underway. As immediate meaÂsures, quick response teams, ATS and additional Provincial Armed Constabulary personnel have been deployed on the UP legislature premises." The ADG added, "As many as 109 CCTVs have been made functional to increase the vigil."
