It was at late at night when a police inspector, heading home after work, was attacked and his motorcycle set on fire on Saturday. Earlier in the day, a group of about 300 people surrounded the police station in Fatehpur Sikri, 40 km from Agra. About 20 policemen within the station were beaten. The crowd became violent a little after the mediator, local BJP legislator Udaybhan Singh left the spot.
