PRAYAGRAJ, Aug. 10 -- Vehicles allegedly accompanying Umar Ahmed, who was being brought from Lucknow Jail under police custody to attend the funeral of Atiq Ahmed's younger son, Aban Ahmed, have come under scrutiny after toll plaza barriers were allegedly broken and toll staff were allegedly misbehaved with in Prayagraj and Pratapgarh districts. According to complaints filed by toll management authorities, members of the convoy allegedly forced their way through toll gates, threatened employees and attempted to run over toll staff. Police have registered separate cases in both districts and begun investigations. At the Nawabganj Toll Plaza in Prayagraj, the incident reportedly occurred around 3:50 pm on Saturday.

The complaint further alleged that the vehicles were driven recklessly in an attempt to run over toll workers. A case was registered on the complaint, with details of more than 28 vehicles included in the FIR.
