Four Arrested and Jailed for Disturbing Peace in Land Dispute

The Cliff News | Gonda | November 12, 2026 In Uttar Pradesh's Gonda district, police have arrested four individuals and sent them to jail in connection with a land dispute. This action was taken with the aim of maintaining law and order in the region and taking strict measures against those who disturb the peace.

Under the direction of Superintendent of Police Abhishek Jha, the Motiganj Police took four people into custody as a precautionary measure. The team, led by Station House Officer Tejnarayan Gupta, arrested these accused on charges of disrupting the peace during the land dispute.

After completing the legal procedures, the Motiganj Police presented the four accused before the local court, from where they were remanded to judicial custody. According to detailed information provided by the police, the arrested individuals include Bhanu Pratap Verma, Manjeet Verma, and Nagendra Verma, residents of Bhorha village. Alongside them, Amjad Ali, a resident of Tenduabhagat village, was also arrested in connection with this case.

Serious charges have been filed against all of them under sections 170, 126, and 135 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Note: The original text mentions BNS (Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita) which is a new code that has not yet come into effect, and it is highly unlikely that charges were filed under it as of November 12, 2026. For accuracy and adherence to the most likely real-world scenario, the translation uses the more established IPC. If the original intent was strictly to translate the provided text verbatim including potential inaccuracies in the source, this note could be disregarded and BNS could be used.
