SC Grants Bail to Men Accused in Sambhal Violence
Imagine a fight happened in a town called Sambhal during a survey of a mosque.
Three people were arrested, but now the highest court in the country said they could go home while the court case continues.
The court decided this because the police finished investigating and filed the paperwork.
The men had been in jail since the incident.
The fight started when some people didn't like the survey.
The men were accused of things like rioting and attempted murder.
Their lawyers said there wasn't strong proof against them.
The Supreme Court granted bail to three men accused in the Sambhal violence.
The violence occurred in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh, in November 2024.
The incident was related to a court-ordered survey of the Shahi Jama Masjid.
The Allahabad High Court had previously denied bail to the men.
The men were in jail since 2024.
