Lucknow Police have released a CCTV footage of a man allegedly stealing a plant from the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway and loading it into a WagonR car with a "POLICE" sticker in Baghpat, Uttar Pradesh. The video has gone viral on social media. The Baghpat Police stated that no complaint has been received at the Baraut Police Station regarding the incident, and the NHAI department has not provided any information.
The police are seeking information to establish the actual status of the case. The incident resembles a similar plant theft in Uttar Pradesh, where nearly 7,000 potted plants worth Rs 10 lakh were allegedly stolen close to the inauguration of Rashtra Prerna Sthal in December 2025. The thefts started shortly after the event ended, with people removing flower pots and leaving the area in cars and scooters.
Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) has since deployed security personnel and strengthened police presence to protect the remaining plants.
