Interpol issues Red Notice for alleged Sambhal attack mastermind Shariq Satha
Interpol has placed a Red Corner Notice on fugitive Shariq Satha, whom police say masterminded the November 2024 Sambhal violence that killed four and injured dozens.
Police investigations have identified Shariq Satha as the chief conspirator behind the Sambhal violence in Uttar Pradesh that occurred in November 2024, which left four people dead and dozens wounded. Despite multiple raids, officials could not apprehend him, and he is believed to have escaped to Dubai with a counterfeit passport. In response, Interpol issued a Red Corner Notice to alert member nations of his fugitive status.
The authorities also affixed a notice under Section 84 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at his home, signaling ongoing legal action. The international alert underscores the seriousness of the case and the effort to bring the alleged mastermind to justice.
