MEERUT, May 9 -- Suhail Iqbal, son of Samajwadi Party (SP) MLA Iqbal Mehmood, on Thursday appeared once again before the Special Investigation Team (SIT) to record his statement in connection with November 24, 2024 violence in Sambhal. He previously recorded a statement before the SIT at the Sambhal Kotwali police station just two days ago, on Tuesday. Suhail Iqbal is named in the FIR along with SP MP Zia-ur-Rehman Barq in the case related to the violent clashes that broke out during a court-ordered survey of the Shahi Jama Masjid, which some had claimed was built over a demolished Hindu temple. Iqbal arrived at Sambhal Kotwali police station at 12:38 pm. He was interrogated by an SIT team comprising inspector Amrish Kumar, Amit Kumar, Lokendra Tyagi, Ajay Tyagi, head constable Jogendra Kumar, and members of a cyber team. Speaking to reporters, Suhail said, "The SIT summoned me again today, and I have come to cooperate fully. I will answer whatever they ask. "Even two days ago, I was questioned for nearly five hours, and I had extended my full cooperation to the SIT. Whenever they call me, I will appear and assist in the investigation," he added. Following that questioning, he said, "I responded to all their questions to the best of my knowledge. It wouldn't be appropriate to disclose the details of the questioning." The violence in Sambhal occurred on November 24, 2024, during second round of a court-ordered survey of the Shahi Jama Masjid, five days after an initial survey was conducted amid claims that the mosque stood at the site of a demolished Hindu temple. Protests by locals turned violent, leading to clashes with security personnel. htc/AGENCY...
