A day after a chargesheet was filed against Samajwadi Party MP Zia-ur-Rehman Barq and 22 others in connection with the violence that broke out near Sambhal Shahi Jama Masjid in November last year, Superintendent of Police Krishan Kumar Vishnoi said that police will pursue effective prosecution to ensure a swift conviction. Also read | Three killed in clash over Sambhal mosque survey Speaking to reporters on Thursday (June 19, 2025), SP Vishnoi said, "MP Zia-ur-Rahman Barq has been charged in this case. The chargesheet details that late-night conversations took place between Barq and Zafar Ali, the president of Shahi Jama Masjid. They were responsible for gathering the crowd on November 22, two days prior to the widespread violence." "The chargesheet is based on extensive evidence gathered during the investigation," the SP added. Mr. Vishnoi confirmed that a total of 12 cases were registered following the incident — seven filed by the police and five based on complaints from citizens. Chargesheets have now been filed in all these cases. He stated that all necessary evidence, including crime recreation reports, ballistic reports and other relevant documents have been collected and submitted to the court. This includes ballistic reports of foreign cartridges, which will be crucial during the trial. On November 24, Sambhal witnessed violence when clashes erupted between locals and the administration over a court-ordered survey of the Archaeological Survey of India-protected Shahi Jama Masjid in Kot Garvi area of the city. Four people were killed and several injured, including 29 police and administration personnel. The chargesheet was submitted in the MP-MLA court of the Civil Judge (Senior Division) at the Chandusi district court complex in connection with FIR number 335/2024 registered at the Kotwali Sambhal police station, a press release issued by the Sambhal SP said. The FIR had named MP Barq, Samajwadi Party MLA Iqbal Mehmood's son Sohail Iqbal, and 700-800 unidentified individuals under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including provisions of the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act. The investigation found no involvement of Sohail Iqbal in the incident, leading to his exclusion from the final chargesheet, the SP said. As of now, 92 accused have been arrested in connection with the case. On March 25, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) served a notice to Barq at his Delhi residence. He was later questioned for nearly four hours on April 8 at Nakhasa police station by the SIT officials led by Asmoli Circle Officer Kuldeep Singh.

SC interim bail for 3 bureaucrats, 3 others in Chhattisgarh coal-levy scam
Two days after being granted interim bail by the Supreme Court in the Chhattisgarh coal-levy scam case, two suspended IAS officers and a former deputy secretary in the chief minister's office walked out of jail on Saturday. Defence counsel Faizal Rizvi told reporters that Sameer Vishnoi and Ranu Sahu, both IAS officers, and Saumya Chaurasia, a deputy secretary in the CMO during the previous Bhupesh Baghel government, and three others were released from Raipur central jail. The SC has granted interim bail to eight persons, of whom two individuals Suryakant Tiwari and Nikhil Chandrakar have not been released (due to other pending cases), he said. The Enforcement Directorate (ED), which has been probing the money laundering angle in the alleged coal-levy scam since 2022, had arrested Vishnoi in October 2022 and Chaurasia in December the same year. The central agency had taken Sahu into custody in July 2023. Rizvi said the bureaucrat trio has been granted interim bail in the two cases related to the alleged coal-levy scam, one each registered by the ED and the state's Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB). A Supreme Court bench of Justices Surya Kant and Dipankar Datta on Thursday imposed several conditions on the accused while granting them interim bail and asked the state government to generate confidence among the witnesses and ensure their protection. The SC has directed Sahu, Vishnoi and Chaurasia not to stay in Chhattisgarh till further orders, except when they are required to be present before the investigating agency or the trial court. They are also directed to furnish the addresses of their stay outside the state of Chhattisgarh to the jurisdictional police station within one week of their release, the bench has ordered. According to investigative agencies, an illegal levy of Rs 25 per tonne was being extorted for every tonne of coal transported in the state by a cartel involving senior bureaucrats, businessmen, politicians and middlemen (during the previous Congress government). A syndicate comprising private individuals like Tiwari and state government functionaries, including Chaurasia, Vishnoi and mining officers, with political backing, allegedly made policy changes concerning mineral transportation. As per hand diaries, Rs 540 crore was extorted in cash by the coal cartel between July 2020 and June 2022.
