Members of the federation said,” After the murder of businessman Suchit Dev, there is an atmosphere of anger and fear among small and big businessmen. The police administration should crack down on this murder and arrest the criminals. Along with this, security should be provided to the businessmen across the district.”

Arrangements should also be made to stop such incidents so that businessmen and their families can feel safe. The safety of life and property of businessmen should be ensured by the administration.
