A clash during a mosque survey in Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal led to three deaths, injuries to officials, and stone-pelting by a mob, prompting a magisterial inquiry.
Three people were killed and around two dozen others, including policemen and senior officials, were injured in a clash that broke out during a survey of a mosque in Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal district on Sunday morning, officials said.
The stone-pelting incident occurred when a team arrived at the Shahi Jama Masjid to conduct a fresh survey of the mosque. Locals allegedly pelted stones at security personnel and attacked the police force. The police used tear gas to control the situation.
Officials said that four senior police officers, around 20 policemen, and a deputy collector were seriously injured as the mob pelted stones at the security force. A police Public Relations Officer (PRO) also sustained a bullet injury to his leg during the incident.
