In an effort to identify the rioters from the violence that erupted in Sambhal on November 24, 2024, the police have strategically positioned posters depicting the offenders at various prominent spots. During the upheaval, these individuals were caught on CCTV, and the police are offering rewards for any useful information regarding their identities.
The violence was triggered last year during a survey at the Jama Masjid in Sambhal. Although dozens were arrested in connection with the incident, several culprits remain at large. The police have been tirelessly pursuing these fugitives. With the latest initiative, authorities have publicly displayed their photos, asking the community for assistance in tracking them down. The Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath, has issued strict directives for handling these individuals.
So far, 76 individuals linked to the Sambhal violence have been apprehended and imprisoned. The police are now focusing on identifying more of the rioters using CCTV footage from the chaotic November 24th event. The Special Investigation Team (SIT) tasked with probing the violence has erected posters with photos of the suspects across multiple areas in Sambhal.
The public posters explicitly state that the depicted person was involved in the November 24, 2024 violence and remains unidentified. A reward is promised to anyone who can provide their name and address. Those with information are encouraged to contact Sambhal police at the given numbers.

The posters highlight those present at the crime scene, who were accused of instigating the unrest. According to the police, they include individuals who played a pivotal role in inciting the crowd.
Assistant Superintendent of Police Shreechand revealed that some rioters involved in the November 24, 2024 violence at Sambhal's Jama Masjid area are still unrecognized. Photos and videos obtained from CCTV footage have been disseminated in various locations to aid in their identification. These images are accompanied by rewards for those who successfully identify them. To date, 60 rioters have been identified, and further legal action will be taken following the publication of their posters.
