Court Orders FIR Against Police in Sambhal Violence Case
On November 24, 2024, a young man named Mohammad Alam was selling biscuits near a mosque in Sambhal when a big fight started.
The police and a large crowd were clashing, and Alam got hurt by gunshots.
He had two bullet wounds in his back and one in his hand.
His father tried to file a complaint but was scared and couldn't.
Later, he went to court to ask for an investigation.
The court looked at the medical reports and saw that Alam was hurt by bullets.
The police said the bullets weren't from their guns, but the court thought the police story didn't match the medical facts.
So, the court ordered the police to investigate themselves and file a report.
The police are now going to appeal this decision in a higher court.
Court ordered FIR against police officers for alleged police firing during violence in Sambhal.
