Uttar Pradesh Court Orders FIR and Probe into Alleged Police Firing in Sambhal Violence

A district court in Uttar Pradesh has ordered the police to register an FIR and investigate allegations that Mohammad Alam, a 23-year-old biscuit seller, was shot three times during police firing amid November 2024 Sambhal mosque protests. While medical evidence confirms gunshot injuries linked to police firing, authorities deny involvement and question the bullet's origin. Alam faces charges related to the violence. The court found police reports contradictory and called for a thorough probe, with the state planning to appeal the order.
