Lucknow, 07 April: A woman attempted self-immolation in front of Vidhan Bhawan in Uttar Pradesh’s capital Lucknow on Tuesday. The security personnel deployed for the security of the building saved the woman. Earlier also the woman had tried to commit suicide in front of the building.
During police interrogation, the victim woman told that her name is Sandhya Singh and she is a resident of Sector 22 of Indira Nagar under Ghazipur police station. She has 1600 square yards of land in Manak Nagar area, which has been forcibly occupied by some people. She appealed to the police and district administration officials several times for justice, but her complaint was not heard.
Due to the police and district administration’s inaction, she attempted self-immolation in front of the Vidhan Bhavan on February 27. However, the police officers present there calmed her down by assuring her of justice and strict action against the culprits. Despite this, no concrete action has been taken by the administration, leading her to take this step again. Officials are unwilling to comment on this matter.
