A court in Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal district on Friday denied bail to 17 individuals who are accused of involvement in the violent incident on November 24 last year, according to a government advocate on Saturday, PTI reported.

The bail applications were rejected by Additional District and Sessions Judge Nirbhay Narain Rai, who had also dismissed 18 other bail petitions on Thursday. As of now, a total of 65 bail petitions have been rejected, and the remaining petitions will be heard on other dates, said Additional District Government Advocate Hari Om Prakash Saini.
