Police in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India, have registered an FIR against three named individuals and 25 unidentified persons for blocking the Lucknow-Kanpur National Highway in the Sarojininagar area. The incident occurred on April 9 when local residents protested the closure of an unauthorized road cut by traffic authorities, which was part of a traffic regulation drive aimed at enhancing road safety due to frequent accidents. Sub-inspector Avneesh Verma reported that the protest escalated despite police efforts to negotiate with the crowd. The police named Manik Chandra Tiwari, Rakesh (a grocery store owner), and Brijendra Sharma alias Pappu as key accused. The highway blockade disrupted traffic until senior officials intervened, and the situation was brought under control. The police are continuing their investigation to identify all individuals involved in the protest.
