In response to the murder of Surya Chauhan in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath expressed a firm stance. He stated that the state government will not tolerate crimes committed under the guise of friendship or personal relationships. During a public event, he highlighted that the recent incident in Ghaziabad is a significant concern for society.

He stressed that upholding the law is the government's top priority, and any form of chaos will not be tolerated.
