Sambhal court rejects bail plea of Shahi Jama Masjid president Zafar Ali over violence allegations.
A court in Sambhal on Friday (April 4, 2025) rejected the bail plea of Shahi Jama Masjid management committee president Zafar Ali, who was arrested on March 23 in connection with a case related to the violence in the Uttar Pradesh town during a protest on November 24 last year against a court-ordered survey of the Mughal-era mosque, officials said.
The hearing on Mr. Ali’s permanent bail petition was held in the court of Additional District Judge Nirbhay Narayan Rai. The court had rejected his interim bail plea on March 27. The permanent bail hearing, initially scheduled for April 2, was postponed due to the unavailability of the case diary.
Public Prosecutor Hariom Prakash Saini said, “There are serious allegations against Mr. Ali like assembling a crowd, pelting stones on police, fabricating facts etc.,” he said.
