While Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has warned the miscreants in the state after taking over the reins of the government, but that does not seem to be a deterrent to the goons of his own stronghold in Gorakhpur.

A man was burnt alive near Tenua toll plaza at Sahjnwa in Gorakhpur - the political citadel of Yogi Adityanath, who is the sitting MP from this seat.

The identity of the victim has not yet been ascertained. He was found burnt in a car bearing number UP53 CJ 9938.

Some reports suggest that the victim's hands and feet were tied with a rope. Some locals were reported as saying that the assailants had come in the same car to the crime spot.

They tied the hands and feet of the victim, put him inside the car and set it ablaze before fleeing the spot.

The locals saw the car in flames and informed police. By the time the fire tenders could arrive, the man was charred to death.

Senior police officials reached the spot. Police investigation is underway.
