Three people were killed and scores of others, including security and administration personnel, injured on Sunday as protesters opposing a court-ordered survey of a Mughal-era mosque in Sambhal clashed with police. I request the Supreme Court to intervene in the matter as soon as possible and do justice," Gandhi said. The district administration has already imposed prohibitory orders and barred the entry of outsiders till November 30 following Sunday's clashes. Violence broke out in the district as protesters opposing the survey of the Jama Masjid clashed with security personnel. The protesters torched vehicles and pelted the police with stones while the security personnel used tear gas and batons to disperse the mob.
