Interpol Red Corner Notice issued against 2024 Sambhal violence ‘mastermind’ Shariq Sata
During investigation into the violence, Sata emerged as the prime conspirator in the case, but he had fled to Dubai using a forged passport
Interpol has issued a Red Corner Notice against gangster Shariq Sata, who is suspected of masterminding violent incidents in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh in November 2024, according to a police officer. Sambhal Superintendent Krishna Kumar Bishnoi, who now serves as the SP of Bijnor, informed reporters that Sata, previously declared a fugitive offender, was involved in the November 24, 2024 violence.
He fled to Dubai using a counterfeit passport, and his family members frequently visited the country. Police maintained surveillance on him, submitting a dossier to the CBI and coordinating with Interpol to obtain the Red Corner Notice. The ensuing unrest resulted in four deaths and numerous injuries. Sata is accused of involvement in organized crimes such as vehicle thefts across the NCR and Uttar Pradesh.
His arrest and extradition for both the 2024 incident and 55 to 60 other criminal cases are now being pursued.
