Lucknow: A man who tried to scale the wall of Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath's residence died on Monday after falling down and facing a fatal head injury. The victim has been identified as Rajkumar Pal, a resident of Udaipura in Lalitpur district of the state.
According to Akshay Lal, father of the deceased, the latter had an ongoing, intense argument with village headman Ramratan Pal over some land, which led to him travelling to Lucknow to meet the CM on Friday. However, he was denied access and asked to return on Monday. Pal arrived on Monday and took the drastic decision to scale the wall when he was told by security staff that CM's interaction with the public was over.
