Priyanka Gandhi had been stopped on her route to Lakhimpur Kheri earlier. This occurrence occurred not long after that. Punjab Deputy Chief Minister SS Randhawa was also scheduled to visit Lucknow, but his plane was denied permission to land.
Akhilesh Yadav, the Lucknow SP, has also been restricted from leaving his home. Outside his house on Vikramaditya Marg, the cops are closely guarded.
