Just what we want is proper legal action against culprit and deploying decent police personnel at the airport where people of high statute visit", he said.

Later they visited to city police commissioner's office and waited for over an hour for commissioner as he was outside. Staff returned back to Sambra only after commissioner assured them about visiting the airport on Thursday and taking legal action against offender.
