The local community has risen in protest against the court-ordered survey of the Shahi Jama Masjid, fearing it's a methodical attempt to provoke communal tensions.
The Sambhal police reported the arrests of at least 25 individuals amid rising tensions, indicating the extent of unrest surrounding the survey of the historic mosque.
Local MP Zia-ur-Rehman Barq condemned the situation, stating, "It is so unfortunate, it is a preplanned incident. Across the country, Muslims are being targeted."
Authorities have implemented strict measures including curfews and internet shutdowns to maintain order as violence escalates over the contentious survey of the mosque.
