Police conduct flag march in Sambhal after HC order
: Following the Allahabad high court order, the police conducted a flag march in Sambhal city on Monday evening. Superintendent of police Krishna Kumar Bishnoi said, 'Keeping the court's decision in mind, Sambhal police is carrying out foot patrols. Cyber space is also being monitored.' 'I appeal to everyone not to make any remarks that would question the dignity of the court or target any other community. No abusive comments should be made. No disturbance to peace and tranquillity will be tolerated —if anyone attempts such actions, strict action will be taken against them.' Advocate Shakeel Warsi, representing the Jama Masjid Management Committee, said, 'The high court has dismissed the petition, and it has passed the order as it deemed appropriate. We respect that. If the legal committee advises further action, it will be considered.' On the matter of the trial, he said, 'If there is an order that proceedings should continue in the lower court, then they will proceed, and we will cooperate. We will comment further only after reviewing the high court's order.' Warsi said the next hearing date in this case at the civil judge's court in Chandausi, Sambhal, is already scheduled for July 3. Advocate Gopal Sharma, representing the Hindu side, said, 'We welcome the Hon'ble High Court's decision. The petition was bound to be dismissed as per legal norms. The trial is already ongoing here. The Supreme Court had previously granted a stay, and their writ petition had been transferred to the high court. Now the decision has been delivered—the stay is automatically nullified, and the trial will continue.' Meanwhile, in the Sambhal violence case, police have so far sent a total of 85 accused to jail, including three women, and Zafar Ali, president of the Shahi Jama Masjid mosque management committee.

Sambhal: BJP office-bearer booked for misuse of firearm
Sambhal police have registered a case against Bharatiya Janata Party's western Uttar Pradesh vice-president Rajesh Singhal and two of his alleged security personnel for the misuse of a firearm, authorities said on Sunday. According to superintendent of police (SP) Krishna Kumar Bishnoi, the BJP leader handed over his licensed revolver to his personal security guards, who then shared photographs of the weapon on social media. Police stated that the gun licence would be suspended as part of further legal action. A case was registered at the Asmoli police station on Saturday against all three individuals under sections 20 and 30 of the Arms Act. The FIR was registered bases on a complaint filed by head constable Jawahar Singh, posted at Asmoli, after an investigation. In his complaint, Singh stated that while patrolling on Friday, he received information about a viral photo on social media showing two youths, Faizi and Wasiul, residents of village Bukanala, displaying a revolver. Investigations revealed that neither of the youths possessed a firearm licence. It also came to the fore that the revolver allegedly belonged to Rajesh Singhal and that the two were his private security personnel, he stated. However, Singhal has denied the allegations. Speaking to reporters, he claimed that the revolver in question did not belong to him but to another villager. He also claimed that Faizi and Wasiul were not his private security guards but booth presidents of the BJP. 'The police have wrongly registered a case against me,' he said. SP Krishna Kumar Bishnoi emphasised that the case was registered after a thorough investigation and added that further probe is ongoing. 'The youths seen in the photographs do not have any firearm licences. We are proceeding with the suspension of the license for the firearm involved,' he stated. Meanwhile, Rajesh Singhal's brother, Kapil Singhal, is also in legal trouble, as police have registered three FIRs against him. One of the cases involves allegations of dismantling stolen vehicles in a scrap factory, while the other two pertain to attempts to influence an investigation and charges of issuing threats and fraudulently causing a cheque to bounce.
