In the Sambhal violence case, the court has ordered to register a case against the then CO Anuj Chaudhary, the then Kotwali in-charge Anuj Tomar and unknown policemen. Now the reaction of former CM and Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav has come to light in this matter. He said that now no one will come to save him. These biased policemen will sit alone and memorize the BJP’s formula.
SP President Akhilesh Yadav wrote on social media platform X, “Now no one will come to save us.” Now these biased policemen will sit alone and remember. BJP’s formula number 1 is first use then destroy! BJP’s formula number 2 is that BJP people are not relatives of anyone.
Now no one will come to save… Now these biased policemen will sit alone and remember:
– BJP’s formula no. 1: First use then waste!
– BJP’s formula no. 2: BJP people are not relatives of anyone. pic.twitter.com/lC8iW5alcC— Akhilesh Yadav (@yadavakhilesh) January 14, 2026
Showing too much caution may prove costly – Akhilesh Yadav
Akhilesh Yadav wrote in another post, “Now the senior police officer is calling the court order illegal, will this be considered contempt of court? Now the Honorable Court may not take action against them. Showing too much caution in the name of flattering the government may prove costly.

Police will file an appeal against the court order
A court located in Chandausi of Sambhal district has ordered to register an FIR against the then police area officer (CO) Anuj Chaudhary, the then Kotwali in-charge Anuj Tomar and unknown policemen in the Sambhal violence case. However, a senior police officer said that the administration will file an appeal against this order.
The order was passed by Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) Vibhanshu Sudhir on a petition filed by the father of a person injured in the violence on January 9 alleging that his son was shot by the police. The complainant accused the then CO Anuj Chaudhary, the then police station in-charge Anuj Tomar and 10-12 unknown policemen.
Judicial investigation has already been done in the matter- SP
Sambhal Superintendent of Police (SP) Krishna Kumar Bishnoi had told that the police will challenge the court order. He said, “An appeal will be filed and FIR will not be registered as judicial inquiry has already been conducted in the case.” Anuj Chaudhary is currently posted as Additional Superintendent of Police (Rural) in Firozabad, while Anuj Tomar is currently in-charge of Chandausi Kotwali in Sambhal district.
What is the whole controversy?
The controversy began on November 19 last year when Hindu petitioners, including lawyers Hari Shankar Jain and Vishnu Shankar Jain, filed a suit in the Sambhal district court claiming that the Shahi Jama Masjid was built over the already existing Harihar Nath temple. On the same day, a survey was conducted on the orders of the court, after which a second survey was conducted on 24 November. After the second survey, violence broke out in Sambhal, in which 4 people died and 29 policemen were injured.
Police have registered 12 FIRs in connection with the violence, naming over 2,000 people, including several political personalities including SP MP Ziaur Rehman Barke and mosque committee chief Zafar Ali.
