Sambhal, UP: ASI has no records to prove that Shahi Jama Masjid was built after demolishing earlier structure
Belying the majoritarian hysteria and attacks on Sambhal’s Mosque and the Muslim minority living in the western UP town, the Archaeological Survey of India has told the Central Information Commission that it does not have any records indicating whether the Shahi Jama Masjid in Sambhal was constructed after demolishing any earlier structure or on vacant land, nor does it have documents identifying the landowner at the time of its construction. Previously, a “commission” appointed by the Sambhal district court has reportedly said in its 2024 report that symbols associated with Hinduism had been found at Sambhal’s Shahi Jama Masjid, protected by the ASI since 1920!
