Maria said that the crackdown on underworld sympathisers, supporters and informers in the city has been initiated. "We will not tolerate underworld activities. We are carrying out an all out crackdown on men linked with the underworld," he said.
Throwing light on Bittu Singh's role in the offence, another police officer said, "Singh had spoken to Morani seeking contacts to organise global shows of 'SLAM! (Sound, Light, Music, Action) The Tour' to be held to promote Shahrukh Khan's forthcoming movie Happy New Year".
