Unveiling Sambhal's Secrets: A Mosque, A Temple, And The Mystery Inside

A detailed survey report on Sambhal's Jama Masjid, involved in a legal dispute over claims of a former temple at its site, was submitted to Chandausi court. The controversy has stirred political tensions, with violence breaking out during surveys, leading to accusations against the BJP of instigating unrest.

A court commissioner presented a comprehensive survey report on Sambhal's Jama Masjid to the Chandausi court. The survey, featuring extensive videography, took place following court mandates amid a heated legal debate over its historical site — suspected to have housed a Hindu temple.

The political landscape surrounding the site is charged with accusations and violence. November saw significant clashes between protesters and security leading to casualties and injuries. This incident implicated several figures, notably including Samajwadi Party MP Zia Ur Rahman, accused of inciting the strife, which coincided with claims of electricity theft against him.

The ongoing dispute has fueled political debates, with the Congress attributing the unrest to the BJP's alleged divisive tactics for political leverage. The Supreme Court intervened to curb new legal actions regarding religious sites, urging caution amid the ongoing controversy.
