Posters had come up at major road crossings in Lucknow late on Thursday night on the directions of chief minister Yogi Adityanath, an official had said.

In Lucknow, around 50 people were identified by police as alleged rioters and were served notices.

Activist-politician Sadaf Jafar and former IPS officer S. R. Darapuri were among those whose photos appeared on the posters.
