attacks on rti activist provesd that things are going wrong in the state/country. the police must catch the culprits who , in all likelihood, are the persons directly connected with the subject of querry. there is no reason why the police should not be able to catch the persons who ordered the attack and if the police is failing then they must be involved in the crime.
