A court ordered an FIR over a 2024 police shooting in Sambhal that killed five during land survey clashes.

A Chandausi court in Uttar Pradesh ordered police to file an FIR against former officers and 10 unnamed personnel over allegations of a fatal police shooting during November 24, 2024, violence in Sambhal linked to a land survey at the Shahi Jama Masjid. The order, issued January 9, 2026, followed a complaint by Yameen, whose son Alam was reportedly shot while selling papad. The case stems from clashes that left five dead and sparked national concern. While the court directed a formal probe, senior police officials rejected the order, calling it beyond judicial authority. The matter may now go to higher courts.
