In Firozabad, local residents erupted in a violent protest after the death of a 25-year-old inmate named Akash. The protest saw stone-pelting and vehicles being set ablaze.

According to Superintendent of Police Saurabh Dixit, Akash was in custody for allegedly stealing a motorcycle. Following his arrest, Akash's health worsened, leading to his admission at the district hospital where he ultimately died during treatment.
