MP bypoll: Narottam Mishra's supporters clash with cops, block highway after ticket snub

Violence erupted in Datia, Madhya Pradesh, as BJP supporters clashed with police. Protesters blocked a national highway for nearly twelve hours after a senior leader was denied a ticket. Several police officers sustained injuries during the prolonged demonstration and stone-pelting incident. Security forces eventually cleared the highway and made some arrests to restore order. The incident occurred following the announcement of Ashutosh Tiwari as the party's candidate.
