New Indian Express  

NW DELHI: Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Monday alleged that the Uttar Pradesh government orchestrated a "riot" in Sambhal and demanded that police as well as those from the administration responsible for the deaths be suspended and murder cases be filed against them. Yadav's comments came after police filed seven FIRs in connection with the violence over a court-ordered survey of a Mughal-era mosque and named SP MP Zia-ur-Rehman Barq and local SP MLA Iqbal Mehmood's son Sohail Iqbal as accused. According to Yadav, the Yogi Adityanath-led government indulged in malpractice in the bypolls, looted votes and engineered trouble in Sambhal to hide it, Yadav said. "Some people pelted stones, to which police opened fire.Those responsible for vitiating Sambhal's environment and filing this petition along with the police and administration be held responsible, they should be suspended and murder cases be filed so that people can get justice," Yadav said.
