Authorities closed schools and suspended internet services in a northern Indian city on Monday, officials have said, a day after four people were killed in clashes sparked by an official survey probing whether a 16th-century mosque was allegedly built on a Hindu temple. Nearly 1,000 Muslim protesters gathered outside the Shahi Jama Masjid in Sambhal, in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, on Sunday to prevent a team from conducting a court-ordered survey after a petition from a Hindu lawyer that claimed the mosque was built on the site of a Hindu temple, officials said on Monday.
