While no arrest has been made so far, a case has been registered, Additional Superintendent of Police Mahendra Kumar said.
On Friday, residents of Nihal Purwa village were protesting against alleged police high-handedness outside the office of the district magistrate. Subsequently, they moved towards the residence of the divisional commissioner and blocked the Lucknow-Gonda Road.
