Days after violence over surveying of a Mughal-era mosque at Sambhal which killed four people, an imam of another mosque here was fined Rs 2 lakh for allegedly using a loudspeaker at high volume on Friday, officials said.
The incident took place in the Anar Wali Masjid in the Kot Garvi area, according to administration officials.
“The loudspeaker was being used at high volume in the mosque, prompting action in the case. The imam, identified as 23-year-old Tahzeeb, was fined Rs 2 lakh as a precautionary measure and has been granted bail,” Sambhal Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Vandana Mishra said.
