UP governor sets up 3-member judicial commission to probe Sambhal violence

Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel has announced the formation of a three-member judicial inquiry commission to investigate the November 24 violence in Sambhal.

The commission has been directed to complete its inquiry within two months from the date of the notification. Any extension of this timeline will require



approval from the government.

Four people died and scores, including police personnel, were injured in Sambhal after a confrontation erupted over a court-ordered survey of the city's Shahi Jama Masjid in the Kot Garvi area, following a petition claiming that a Harihar temple once stood at the site.
