Lucknow: In a swift operation, Mohanlalganj Police have arrested five notorious members of the Gurjar gang responsible for creating chaos during a traditional fair in Bindauwa village. The incident occurred on the night of October 13–14, 2025, around 11:00 PM, during a cultural program at the fair.

When the fair committee and police intervened, the gang resorted to pushing, shoving, stone-pelting on vehicles, breaking glass, verbal abuse, and threats to life.
