The Uttar Pradesh Police has started the process of getting a Red Corner Notice issued by Interpol against gangster Shariq Satha, who is wanted in connection with last year’s violence in Sambhal following the court-ordered survey of Shahi Jama Masjid.

According to police, Satha – the prime conspirator behind last year’s November 24 clashes that left four persons dead and several others, including policemen, injured – is believed to be operating from Dubai.
