When 32-year-old Ranjan Kumar stepped out of his home in Vikalp Khand, Lucknow’s Gomti Nagar, on July 15, 2024 — days before his wedding — his family believed he had gone for a short walk. He never returned. A missing person’s complaint was filed two days later at Chinhat police station, but for over a year, his father, 68-year-old homoeopath Dr Vikrama Prasad, alleges there was little progress.

In November 2025, after what he described as repeated but futile follow-ups with police officials, Prasad moved the Allahabad High Court seeking a writ of mandamus to ensure a fair investigation. An FIR was lodged only on December 2, 2025, after the court sought a status report. Observing a “casual and cavalier attitude” in handling missing person complaints, the High Court expanded its scrutiny beyond the individual case.

Data placed before the court by the Police Technical Services Headquarters showed that 1,08,300 missing person complaints were registered across Uttar Pradesh between January 1, 2024, and January 18, 2026, while action to trace only 9,700 persons had been recorded. Calling itself “aghast at the attitude of the authorities”, the court on January 29, 2026, directed that the plea be registered as a Public Interest Litigation, noting that a “larger public interest is now involved in the matter”.

On February 5, 2026, a coordinate bench sought further data from the state government and said that a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), if not already in place, must be framed for police officers to deal with such cases.

Better than Delhi, yes. But the amount of dust that collects in my house despite living on a road lined with huge trees is testament to Bengaluru's building pollution -- courtesy vehicles, construction, bad roads, awful traffic.

[Nikitha @phyllis_nikitha]

Fully agree, after living three years in the city. Apart from the traffic, vehicle fumes -- especially dumper trucks that pass through residential areas spewing thick black smoke -- is another concern.

BluSmart was known for its clean vehicles and punctual drivers. When it shut down seven months ago, commuters (like me) bemoaned the loss of the reliable service. But what about its drivers, several of whom were women? @devanshmittal_ brings their stories.
