Tensions escalated in Bhadeora Bazaar when police prevented Nagina MP and Azad Samaj Party leader Chandrashekhar Azad from visiting Isohta village.
Authorities have detained 67 adults and apprehended eight juveniles connected to the subsequent violence involving vandalism and stone-pelting. DCP Vivek Chandra Yadav announced that tough legal measures, including the National Security Act and the Gangster Act, will be pursued.
The unrest began following news of Azad's prohibited visit. A Dial 112 emergency vehicle and another car were damaged. Efforts are ongoing to identify additional suspects through video and CCTV footage. The situation stems from a local resident's controversial death in April, raising security concerns.
