In every situation, our government is committed to identify and punish every criminal in the state," Mr Pathak, who was in Bahraich to attend a programme, told reporters.
Four people were arrested from Haryana's Ambala district on Saturday for their alleged involvement in the attack on Mr Aazad. They were arrested in a joint operation by the Haryana and Uttar Pradesh police, Haryana Special Task Force Deputy Superintendent of Police Aman Kumar said.
