PoliticsSupreme Court Cancels NSA Detention in Sambhal Mosque Violence Case
The Supreme Court ruled that detention under the National Security Act (NSA) cannot be based solely on a confession. It set aside the October 2025 detention order against Mulla Afroz related to the Sambhal mosque violence in November 2024. The court also imposed a ₹10 lakh cost on the Uttar Pradesh government, stating preventive detention should not be punitive. Four deaths occurred during the violence triggered by a mosque survey order.
