Uttar Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel has formed a three-member judicial inquiry commission to investigate the violent clashes that occurred in Sambhal on November 24, following a court-ordered survey of the Shahi Jama Masjid. The violence, which resulted in the deaths of four people and injuries to many, including law enforcement officers, has sparked significant concern across the state.

The commission, which has been instructed to complete its inquiry within two months from the date of the notification, will seek to uncover the reasons behind the violence. Should an extension to this period be required, it will need approval from the state government.
