- Late Friday night, unidentified criminals scaled the 13-foot wall of a kirana trader's home in Lucknow's Indiranagar and attacked the trader, his wife, and daughter with iron rods and sticks before fleeing with cash and jewellery.
- All three were hospitalised with critical injuries; the trader received over 50 stitches and his wife about 40, and the family says the trader fought the attackers for nearly an hour.
- The family has accused the police of delay, saying the outpost was only two kilometres away yet police arrived half an hour after being informed.
- In response, a night-duty sub-inspector and a woman constable have been suspended for allegedly failing to alert a team despite receiving the information, and a case has been registered on the family's complaint.
