He added, "If this type of behavior continues, we will take strong civil and criminal measures, and we will continue to take strict legal action after the funeral process. There will be no leniency or agreement during this process." He added, "Once again, we will go through a difficult time. “We earnestly ask you to refrain from any actions that may hurt the bereaved family and acquaintances,” he added.
