What's the controversy over the Jama Masjid in Sambhal?
The Jama Masjid in Sambhal, dating back to Mughal ruler Babur's era, is embroiled in a dispute. There are claims that it was built over the 'Hari Har Temple.' A lawyer representing the Hindu side sought a court survey, filing a petition in the local court. Following the court's order for a survey, tensions spiked, causing protests from the Muslim community. Subsequent violence resulted in the deaths of four individuals, with dozens, including police officers, injured.
