Mosque survey triggered trouble
“Posters will be put up after excluding those who have been arrested," he added.
The violence in Sambhal erupted during an Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) examination of a Mughal-era mosque. The survey followed a petition in a court, claiming the mosque was built at the site of a Hindu temple.
The clashes resulted in the deaths of four Muslims that very day while a fifth person died later.
