Some disturbing visuals have emerged on social media depicting rioters in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, aggressively forcing individuals to bathe and prying open vehicle doors to pour water inside. The chaotic scenes, marked by water sloshing everywhere and widespread panic, highlight the disorder that unfolded in the absence of police presence. As the situation escalated, the crowd was left to navigate the turmoil without law enforcement intervention.

The absence of law enforcement agencies only fueled the unrest, making the scene even more chaotic and uncontrollable. 

With no law enforcement present to manage the escalating situation, the rioters' disruptive behaviour went unchecked, exacerbating the confusion and distress among the beleaguered individuals caught in the turmoil.

After this video went viral, the police came on alert mode and started identifying the miscreants and arresting them. Gomti Nagar police have arrested Pawan Yadav and Sunil Kumar on the basis of video footage in this case. The search for other accused is on.

Taking it to the official X handle, the Lucknow Police shared the information about the arrest.
