An early morning encounter broke out in Uttar Pradesh's Bareilly, leading to the arrest of four individuals, including Maulana Mohsin Raza, a key aide and relative of prominent cleric Maulana Tauqeer Raza. Mohsin Raza, who is the son-in-law of Tauqeer Raza's brother, was injured during the operation. Two of the arrested were allegedly involved in snatching a police firearm during the confrontation. The encounter marks a significant escalation in ongoing tensions in the region and is likely to spark further political and communal reactions.
