The Shahi Jama Masjid in Sambhal was surveyed on November 19 after claims that it was built over the Harihar temple. The court-ordered survey was conducted swiftly, but tensions erupted as protestors clashed with police, throwing stones and causing violence. Several people, including police officers, were injured, and four people died. Authorities imposed curfews, restricted internet, and deployed forces to control the situation. Petitioners argue that the mosque unlawfully occupies a historical Hindu site, while Muslims in Sambhal defend the mosque's significance as a centuries-old place of worship. The conflict has led to serious law and order issues in the region.
