The UP Police achieved a significant breakthrough in the Bahraich violence by arresting five suspects near the Nepal border. Two of the accused, Sarfaraz and Mohammad Talib, were injured in an encounter with police while attempting to escape. This incident has reignited a political debate surrounding the UP government's controversial ‘encounter policy’. The Congress party criticized the state administration, linking the Bahraich violence to its failures. Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav also condemned the government, suggesting the encounters were a distraction from their inadequacies.
