Sambhal violence report submitted to CM
Hindustan Times Delhi
|August 29, 2025
A three-member judicial commission headed by Justice (Retd) Devendra Kumar Arora, a former Allahabad high court judge, on Thursday submitted its two-part probe report on the November 2024 violence in Sambhal to Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath, a senior official said.
‘Atleast four people were killed and several others injured in the violence that erupted near the Shahi Jama Masjid on November 24 last year during protests against a court-ordered survey of the Mughal era mosque, which the Hindu side claims was built after razing a Harihar temple.
“The judicial commission constituted to probe the Sambhal incident has submitted its report to the chief minister,” principal secretary (home), Sanjay Prasad, told reporters.
Asked about the content of the report, Prasad said he could only speak about it after studying it.
The commission headed by Justice Arora was set up on November 28, 2024, and also comprised retired IPS officer (1979 batch) Arvind Kumar Jain, and former IAS officer (1989-batch) Amit Mohan Prasad.
