In a recent peace committee gathering in Sambhal, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Anuj Chaudhary sparked controversy by suggesting that Muslims should consider staying indoors during the Holi festival if participating in the color festivities conflicted with their religious beliefs. The DSP’s remarks drew criticism, particularly due to his involvement in leading a religious procession donning his uniform. This incident comes in the wake of previous tensions in the area following a mosque survey conducted by Chaudhary. The DSP’s comments have reignited concerns regarding the delicate balance between religious practices and public duties in the region. The community is now closely monitoring the situation as they navigate through these sensitive issues.
