Description:

Kanpur Development Authority (KDA) demolished an under-construction petrol pump owned by Mohammad Rizwan, located on plot no. 729 along the Baikunthpur-Singhpur Mandhana road in the Bithoor area of Kanpur. The KDA stated that the construction was being carried out without the necessary approvals, leading to the demolition.
This action was part of a broader initiative by the Uttar Pradesh government targeting unauthorized constructions linked to individuals with alleged criminal backgrounds.
While the KDA maintained that the demolition was a routine procedure against illegal structures, local police officials suggested potential connections between Rizwan and individuals involved in recent communal disturbances in Kanpur. However, these allegations were contested by the property owners, who claimed no such associations.
