Noida Studio Clash: SP Workers, Cleric Trade Blows After Yadav Remark
A heated confrontation erupted in a Noida television studio on July 31, 2025, leaving a Muslim cleric injured and sparking cross-complaints. Three Samajwadi Party (SP) workers allegedly assaulted the cleric, accusing him of making derogatory comments about MP Dimple Yadav.
The incident unfolded during a live news segment at the Noida-based news channel. Eyewitnesses report the altercation began after the cleric’s remarks. The channel subsequently filed a police complaint against both the SP workers and the cleric.
The cleric, in turn, has also registered a counter-complaint alleging assault and physical harm. Police are investigating both complaints, and statements are being recorded from witnesses.
This incident highlights growing tensions and the potential for violence stemming from political rhetoric. The police investigation will be crucial in determining the facts and ensuring accountability for all involved. The impact on local communal harmony also warrants close monitoring.
