Sambhal on high alert after mosque chief's arrest

Zafar Ali, president of the Sambhal Shahi Jama Masjid management committee, has been arrested in connection with the November 24 violence over a court-ordered mosque survey. His bail plea was rejected, and he was sent to Moradabad jail for a two-day remand. His lawyer plans to file for bail in the district judge’s court on Monday. Meanwhile, heavy police deployment and drone surveillance continue in the area.
