In Firozabad, creating a ruckus during the Holi celebrations turned out to be a costly affair for several youths. The incident occurred in the Suhag Nagri area on March 4, 2026, where police took strict action against individuals disturbing public peace. A video of the police teaching a lesson to these troublemakers inside the station has surfaced and is being shared widely on social media.
Unique punishment at Thana Dakshin
Police personnel from the Thana Dakshin station detained four main accused who were creating chaos on the streets under the influence of alcohol. Local residents had complained that these youths were harassing passersby and forcibly applying colors. Instead of standard procedure alone, the police decided to teach them discipline on the spot.
Inside the police station, the detained youths were made to adopt the ‘Murga’ pose and perform sit-ups while holding their ears. This traditional method of punishment was used to ensure they understood the gravity of their actions. The video of this disciplinary action went viral on March 6, drawing mixed reactions from the public.
Official statement and future warnings
Senior officials have backed the strict approach taken to maintain law and order during the festival.
- Zero Tolerance: ASP City Ravi Shankar Prasad stated that a zero-tolerance policy is in place for drunk behavior and harassment of women.
- Final Warning: The youths were eventually released, but only after receiving a stern warning that legal action would be taken if they repeated the offense.
- Surveillance: Police confirmed that strict monitoring, including drone mapping, will continue in future to prevent such incidents.
