An FIR has been registered against 28 vehicles that allegedly accompanied Umar Ahmed, son of slain gangster-politician Atiq Ahmed, as he was taken from Lucknow Jail to Prayagraj for his brother Aban's funeral. The vehicles reportedly broke a toll barrier and misbehaved with staff at the Nawabganj Toll Plaza on Saturday. A similar incident occurred earlier at a toll plaza in Pratapgarh, where a Thar and a Scorpio allegedly broke the barrier and attempted to run over an employee. Police have registered separate cases and are using CCTV footage to identify the occupants.
