The Uttar Pradesh government will make protesters involved in the Sambhal violence pay for damage to public property while posters of "stone pelters" will be displayed at public places, an official sa

The violence in Sambhal occurred on 24 November when a large crowd opposed a court-ordered survey of the Shahi Jama Masjid in the Kot West area of the UP district.

The Uttar Pradesh government announced on Wednesday that individuals involved in the recent violence in Sambhal will be held accountable for damages to public property, with their posters prominently displayed in public areas.

Police have released photos of nearly 100 suspects, including minors, related to the violent clashes in Sambhal during a mosque survey. The unrest left five dead and multiple injuries. Authorities aim to recover damages and ensure justice while maintaining peace in the area.

As more evidence emerged regarding the 24 November violence in Sambhal, the Uttar Pradesh Police now intend to display posters featuring photographs of over 100 accused. These individuals are accused of firing weapons and throwing stones during the violence against a court-mandated survey of the Shahi Jama Masjid in the Kot West area.

This approach mirrors a similar initiative during the anti-CAA protests in 2020, where posters of alleged vandals were displayed, although they were later removed by court order.

Days after violence broke out in Uttar Pradesh’s Sambhal, killing four people and injuring several others, the police said protesters have been identified through video footage from drone cameras and CCTV footage from the area.

Sambhal Police have released images of individuals allegedly involved in the violence opposing the mosque survey on November 24.
