Overview

• Bareilly police said IMC district president Tazim was shot in the leg and arrested after he allegedly fired on a team trying to detain him.
• Authorities sealed and demolished properties tied to associates of Maulana Tauqeer Raza, citing encroachment, as critics argue such actions amount to collective punishment despite court warnings against punitive demolitions.
• The number of arrests rose to 73, with police detailing 10 FIRs and saying they identified 260 named suspects and thousands more from video and CCTV review.
• Investigators allege Tauqeer Raza orchestrated the September 26 unrest to reassert influence, a claim they say is supported by interrogations of aides including former district president Nadeem Khan.
• Congress MP Imran Masood said he was placed under house arrest before a planned Bareilly visit, a claim Saharanpur police denied, while the Ala Hazrat family demanded an end to arrests and bulldozer actions.
