DM and SP have given a slew of replies to questions raised on the violence that broke out during the poll at Shahi Jama Masjid located in Sambhal district of Uttar Pradesh. On the issue of excavation of the toilet, DM Rajendra Pensia said water was extracted for video recording. No excavation or measurements were made there. These questions were raised by Sadar Zafar Ali of Jama Masjid. He claimed that violence broke out only after hearing the news of the excavation of the toilet. He had also made accusations of not having provided information about the survey. In response, the DM said the court order was received at 2.30 am and Sadar was informed between 5 and 5.30 am.
After this, on November 23 at 6:15, he himself called and informed Sadar Zafar Ali of the mosque. At that time he had said that his health was not good. In such a situation, the judicial copy was received by sending it to the SDM and the CO. When asked if Zafar Ali saw the shooting, the DM asked if he was conducting a survey at the spot or if he had gone out and seen the shooting. On the contrary, he questioned Zafar Ali’s statement and said that once he said that the police were firing their weapons, then he said that they were firing guns, and then he said that he did not know.
Sadar Zafar Ali of the mosque was not arrested
Regarding the arrest of Mosque Sadar Zafar Ali, Sambhal SP said that he has not been detained or arrested. He is only being questioned in relation to the statements he has made. Let us tell you that the court team had arrived to inspect Shahi Jama Masjid and Harihar temple. Meanwhile, rioters threw stones at police. Four people have died in this incident. Police have registered cases against Sambhal MP, Sambhal MLA’s son and many others in this matter. In this regard, Divisional Commissioner Moradabad Anjaneya Kumar Singh said that the situation in Sambhal is normal and shops are now allowed to open.
People could express their opinions in court.
He said some stores are closed only in places where there are riots. There is no tension at the scene of the incident. However, police and administration are on alert across the district. According to the divisional commissioner, as police get evidence, appropriate action is being taken. Many cases have been recorded and many more are likely to occur. A case of inciting people has also been registered against the son of Sambhal MP and MLA. He said the survey was being conducted on the orders of the court and all parties have the right to express their views in court. If any of the parties had any problem with this survey, then they could approach the court and present their views. Despite this, these people adopted the method of violence. This will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
I found shocking videos.
According to the divisional commissioner, the police have found numerous shocking videos in which miscreants set vehicles on fire. Many people seen in the video are outsiders. They are being identified. Some people in the same crowd also threw stones at the mosque. These people are also being identified. He said autopsy has been conducted on the four people killed in this incident. According to the autopsy report, the cause of death of the four people was the cartridge used in the domestically manufactured pistol. In addition to the police investigation into this matter, a judicial investigation is also underway.
The administration worked to provide security.
He made it clear that the NSA will take action against those who carried out this incident. He said the people who had gathered near the mosque are neither students nor farmers. These people had only one goal: the survey should not be conducted under any circumstances. He said it was already clear that only a study of the mosque would be done. Not that there’s anything to break there. He said the court had assigned the responsibility of providing security to the police and the administration and the administration had done the same.
Violence erupted under conspiracy
It raised the question: how did so many new age people gather there? Why were there no elders among them? Why didn’t any elders check on these people later? Why did the elders who come here every day to offer Namaz not come that day? Why did the people who arrived there come with their faces tied? This shows that this was a complete conspiracy and a new story is being created to give it a new look. He said action will also be taken against those who spread misleading information regarding the Sambhal incident.
