UP Horror: Woman harassed on flooded road in Lucknow, viral video sparks outrage
Lucknow: In a disturbing incident captured on video, a woman riding pillion on a bike was harassed by a group of men on a flooded road in Lucknow’s Gomti Nagar area on Wednesday. The viral video triggered massive outrage on social media as a group of men, standing in knee-deep water under the Taj Hotel bridge, surrounded the bike and splashed water on the man and woman as they crossed the heavily flooded road.
As the bike attempted to move past the group, some men tried to pull it back, causing the duo to fall on the waterlogged road during heavy rain. The video also shows one man allegedly groping the woman before pulling the bike, resulting in her falling off and needing assistance to get up.
A case has been lodged under relevant charges, and three police teams have been formed to identify the miscreants. The Lucknow Police have arrested four persons – Pawan Yadav, Sunil Yadav, Mohammed Arbaaz, and Viraj Sahu – in connection with the case.
Additionally, the police commissioner has removed the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) for the East Zone and two other senior officers from their positions. The Station House Officer (SHO) of Gomti Nagar and four other officers have also been suspended.

Mumbai (PTI): Police have arrested a man and seized over 500 grams of heroin worth Rs 2.54 crore in the illicit market from him in Mumbai, officials said on Friday.
The police's Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) made the drug seizure in Santacruz in the western suburbs. The operation was conducted by the Kandivali unit of the ANC on Thursday as part of a special crackdown against drug trafficking in the area, they said.
Acting on specific inputs, an ANC team conducted a raid in Santacruz (East) and intercepted a man. During a search, the team recovered 508 grams of high-grade heroin from his possession, an official said.
The seized contraband, a highly addictive, opioid drug derived from morphine, is estimated to be worth Rs 2.54 crore in the international market, he informed.
Following the seizure, a case was registered against the man under relevant sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985, and he was formally placed under arrest in the early hours of Friday.
