The government will make protesters involved in the Sambhal violence pay for damage to public property while posters of “stone pelters” will be displayed at public places, an official said on Wednesday.

Tension had been brewing in Sambhal since November 19 when the mosque was first surveyed on the court's orders following a petition claiming that a Harihar temple had stood at the site.

Days after violence broke out in Uttar Pradesh’s Sambhal, killing four people and injuring several others, the police said protesters have been identified through video footage from drone cameras and CCTV footage from the area.

Police have released photos of nearly 100 suspects, including minors, related to the violent clashes in Sambhal during a mosque survey. The unrest left five dead and multiple injuries. Authorities aim to recover damages and ensure justice while maintaining peace in the area.

According to the autopsy, the injuries on the bodies of the four men were caused by bullets which did not belong to the ammunition used by the police

Sambhal Police have released images of individuals allegedly involved in the violence opposing the mosque survey on November 24.
