Elaborate security in Sambhal for Friday prayers, court hearing

Mid-tension, prevailing in the city in the wake of Sunday's violence that claimed the lives of four youths, the Uttar Pradesh Police has stepped up security ahead of Friday prayers.

Additional security would be in place at the controversial Shahi Jama Masjid for the Friday prayers apart from the premises of the designated court in Chandausi where the surveyor is expected to submit his report.

The police have arrested one person for spreading rumors in connection with the stone pelting and violence that took place on November 24 in Sambhal. They identified him as Farhat against whom a case has been registered under sections of the Indian Justice Code (BNS). The authorities have extended the ban on internet services in the town till tomorrow.

Earlier, senior advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain claimed that he was receiving threats after the violence. He accused Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi, Sambhal MP Ziaur Rahman Barq, SP Media Cell, and Secretary of Gyanvapi Masjid Committee of spreading misinformation.
