Between Lakhimpur Kheri, Sitapur, Hardoi, Rae Bareli and Unnao, police arrested a combined 307 warrant accused, while legal action of various kinds was completed against 632 warrant accused in total. Here is how the operation unfolded district by district, and which officers led it.\n\nLakhimpur Kheri: 61 arrested, 16 surrender before court\nUnder the leadership of SSP Kheri Dr. Khyati Garg, police teams formed to achieve full disposal of court-issued non-bailable warrants moved quickly against the accused.

Police also served summons on 141 warrant accused at their homes so that they turn up in court on the scheduled date. In all, action of some form was completed against 218 warrant accused in the district.\n\nSitapur: 70 arrests, 15 cases where the accused had already died\nUnder the leadership of the Superintendent of Police, Sitapur, the drive against wanted and warrant accused resulted in 70 arrests.

During the operation, 28 accused appeared in court on their own while summons were served on 4 warrant accused.

In Rae Bareli, Superintendent of Police Ravi Kumar's team arrested 63 warrant accused. One accused appeared in court on his own, and verification turned up 4 cases where the warrant accused had died.\n\nRecent tough action in Kanpur too\nEarlier, police in Kanpur also took a hard line after stones were pelted at police personnel, arresting 7 people including a lekhpal.\n\nWhy the drive was launched\nPolice officers across all five districts of the Lucknow range have said the operation is being run with the target of clearing pending non-bailable warrants completely, so that wanted accused cannot evade the law indefinitely and court proceedings are not delayed further.\n\nWhat this means for you\nThis drive has a direct bearing on pending court cases and law and order across five districts of the Lucknow range.\n\n• Across India: Such special drives become a model for police forces in other states too, showing how non-bailable warrants pending in courts for years can be cleared quickly. This cuts delays in judicial process and tightens the net on absconding accused.\n• In the Lucknow range (Kheri, Sitapur, Hardoi, Unnao, Rae Bareli): Residents of these districts can expect pending cases to reduce locally. The visible police activity gives ordinary people confidence that accused persons cannot evade a warrant indefinitely.\n• For warrant accused still absconding: This is a clear signal that police continue an active search, so appearing in court or surrendering in time may be a better option than staying on the run.\n• For families of deceased warrant accused: In cases where the accused has already died, police will now update records and begin the process to cancel the warrant, sparing families repeated trips to police or court.\n• For witnesses and victims: More arrests and court appearances in pending cases can speed up hearings, directly benefiting witnesses and victims tied to those cases.\n\nQuestions & Answers\n\n1.
