Tension gripped a local area following the tragic death of Krishna Nishad in a motorcycle accident that collided with a stationary four-wheeler, prompting locals to obstruct a highway and clash with police forces on Monday night.

According to police reports, the disturbances arose when anti-social elements, under cover of night, initiated violence against the police, resulting in injuries to two officers who responded to the blockade. Six arrests have been made in connection with the violence, authorities confirmed.

Despite police efforts to quell the unrest, the protest escalated. A named FIR was filed against ten individuals amidst ongoing investigations. However, no formal complaint has been lodged by Nishad's family as the inquiry continues.
