Samajwadi Party activists engaged in clashes with law enforcement in various regions of Uttar Pradesh following the arrest of party leader Akhilesh Yadav during an opposition demonstration. The protests erupted in multiple districts, including Gorakhpur, Lucknow, and Agra, where demonstrators chanted slogans accusing the Election Commission and the BJP government of attempting to undermine democracy.
In a surprising turn of events, Akhilesh Yadav ended up "arresting" the police bus.

Yadav, speaking from Delhi, criticized the police's actions, asserting that the issue revolved around safeguarding democracy and questioning the police's treatment of protesters.
