On Monday, police in Lucknow arrested 25 people for attempting to forcibly occupy a disputed piece of land the previous day. According to the authorities, a group of around 40-50 people arrived at the 1.5-hectare plot with tractors, cars, and motorcycles, trying to take control of the property.

Fearing a breach of peace, the police took 25 of the accused into custody under section 170 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). An FIR was also registered against the group, who allegedly used a forged notarized sale agreement as the basis for their claim.
