Police had to intervene and rescue a team of surveyors of a private company who were held hostage on Saturday, suspecting them to be "CAA/NRC surveyors."

The incident is of a village in the district when locals held as many as 17 surveyors of a Lucknow based company on Saturday.

"Their company works for RSS. They have accepted it in a written statement," said a local.

All those who were captured were safely rescued by the police.
