UP Police's methods of dealing with anti-CAA and NRC protesters have raised a few questions. It seems like the cops are trying very hard to not let a Shaheen Bagh-like situation arise in UP.

On Saturday, UP police reportedly uprooted a tent meant for a wedding mistaking it for one set up for an anti-CAA/NRC protest.

According to Live Hindustan, the wedding ceremony was taking place in Mohalla Mirdagan of Bijnor city.

The wedding was scheduled for February 4, according to the report and the daughter’s father set up a tent in a vacant land near his house.

All gifts and other items for the bride were kept in the tent. Police arrived on the spot and assuming that the tent was set up for anti-CAA/NRC protest without permission, started uprooting it. However, after realising the truth, they asked the family to reinstall the tent, apparently not even helping with the task themselves.

It's troubling to know this was not a random mob or a group of people. It was the state police that unfortunately disrupted a person's life purely on the basis of misinformation. And that is a matter of great concern.
