    What's the story

    Much has been said about Uttar Pradesh Police's handling of protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act in the state last month.

    Now, in a major blunder, the UP Police has sent a notice to a dead man, deeming him a threat to peace in the area.

    Similar notices were sent to two other elderly men, aged 90 and 93.

    Here are more details.

    Details

    Banne Khan, dead for 6 years, slapped with notice

    Reportedly, the UP Police in Firozabad has sent a notice to one Banne Khan, who died six years ago at the age of 94.

    The notice has been sent under CrPC Sections 107 (security for keeping the peace in other cases) and 116 (inquiry as to truth of information), asking him to execute a personal bond of Rs. 10 lakh and seek bail.

    Firozabad Magistrate Kunwar Pankaj Singh admits error

    Separately, Firozabad City Magistrate Kunwar Pankaj Singh told News18, "The day there was violence during the protests, there was pressure on the administration to ensure peace in the district. We received reports from several police stations and action was taken."

    History

    CM Adityanath had earlier promised 'revenge' after violence across UP

    On December 20, violent protests against CAA swept Uttar Pradesh, killing 19 people across the state.

    Following the violence, UP Chief Minister vowed to take "revenge" against those responsible, even as some reports highlighted instances of excessive police force.

    Thereafter, Firozabad Police sent notices to at least 200 people asking them to prove that they are not potential threats to peace.
