Interpol Issues Red Corner Notice Against Fugitive in Sambhal Violence Case
Interpol has issued a Red Corner Notice against Shariq Sata, identified by Uttar Pradesh police as the alleged mastermind behind the November 24, 2024, violence in Sambhal. Sata, declared a fugitive offender by a court, fled to Dubai using a forged passport. Police submitted a detailed dossier to the CBI, which coordinated with Interpol for the notice. Authorities aim to arrest and extradite him to face charges related to the Sambhal incident and around 55 to 60 other criminal cases. The violence erupted during a court-ordered survey of the Shahi Jama Masjid, resulting in four deaths and multiple injuries.
