Jammu, Dec 5 (PTI) Police have booked three persons, including a prominent Aam Aadmi Party leader, for staging a protest against the recent violence in Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal during a court-ordered survey of a Mughal-era mosque that left four persons dead, officials said on Thursday.

The case against AAP leader Safeer Choudhary and two others -- Mudaser Raza Jalali and Rajinder Prasad Thaapa -- was registered at the Bahu Fort police station under Sections 126(2) and 191(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) related to wrongful restraint and rioting, respectively, officials said quoting the FIR.

The FIR, which was registered against the trio on the same day, said they were accused of staging protest without permission and blocking the main road, thus causing inconvenience to the commuters.

Choudhary led the protest in the Bhatindi area of Jammu on November 30, denouncing the violence in Sambhal.
