Tensions escalated in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh, when clashes broke out over a court-ordered survey of a 16th-century mosque, which was being investigated to determine if it was built over a Hindu temple. The Uttar Pradesh Police were quick to respond, deploying officers to maintain peace and prevent further violence. Authorities set up barricades, dispersed crowds, and engaged in dialogue with religious leaders to ease tensions.
The survey, which has become a flashpoint for religious conflict, triggered protests from both communities, demanding different interpretations of history. The police’s rapid intervention was crucial in preventing the situation from spiraling into a full-scale conflict. With peace restored, law enforcement remains vigilant, ensuring that no further clashes occur and that religious harmony is maintained in the region.
