The administration has demolished the house of Samajwadi Party district vice-president Ayub Siddiqui in Haiderpur Nangola, alleging it was encroaching on government land.
The move has ignited protests from party workers, who decry it as a politically motivated attack. The demolition occurred despite Siddiqui's assertion that the matter is pending in court.
Local authorities maintain the house was built on government-owned pond land, a fate shared with roughly 42 others in the area. Security has intensified, with police restricting access to prevent further confrontation.
