For decades, Hindus and Muslims in Sambhal lived together peacefully, with occasional tension surfacing such as during the protests against the CAA in 2019.

Tensions remain in Sambhal after violence over a mosque survey left four dead. Authorities have filed FIRs against 22, including local politicians.

DM of Sambhal Rajendra Pensia has appointed deputy collector Deepak Choudhary to carry out the inquiry.

Police have retrieved photographs and video footage from CCTVs of as many as 75 people so far suspected to be involved in the violence
