LUCKNOW, Jan. 2 -- A house, illegally occupied by two strongmen in the state capital's Indira Nagar, was restored to the daughter of an ex-army officer within hours after chief minister Yogi Adityanath's intervention and the two accused were arrested, officials said. The action came after ex-army officer's daughter Anjana Bhatt met the chief minister and narrated her ordeal on the first day of the New Year, stating that local strongmen from Chandauli had illegally occupied her house in Indira Nagar, forcing her to run from pillar to post for justice. Taking a serious view, the chief minister immediately ordered officials to take strict action. Within hours, the Lucknow police and district administration vacated the house and handed it back to Anjana who thanked the chief minister. Police arrested the two accused, identified as Balwant Yadav and Manoj Kumar Yadav. Confirming the action, ACP Ghazipur Anindya Vikram Singh said a complaint was received at Ghazipur police station from Anjana Bhatt, daughter of Bipin Chandra Bhatt, alleging that Balwant Yadav had illegally occupied her house. "Based on the preliminary probe, a case was registered. The investigation is ongoing and further legal action will be taken," he said. The ACP added that no one was residing in the house at the time of the illegal occupation. "A board had been forcibly put up on the premises. It was removed, and both accused were arrested," he confirmed. People familiar with the matter said that initially, the gravity of the case had not been adequately flagged to the Lucknow Police Commissionerate, until the chief minister personally took cognizance of the complaint. Once directions were issued from the top, coordination between the administration and police was expedited. Anjana's father, late Bipin Chandra Bhatt, was a Major in the Indian Army. He owned house number A-418 in Indira Nagar and passed away in 1994. Major Bhatt had one son and two daughters, but both his son and the other daughter have since died. Anjana is the only surviving member of the family. After Anjana was diagnosed with a mental illness, she was taken to a rehabilitation centre in 2016, where her treatment began under the supervision of doctors. Taking advantage of her illness, Balwant Kumar Yadav and Manoj Kumar Yadav allegedly put up their own board on her property and, using forged documents, got the land fraudulently transferred in their names....
