When Quit India movement was announced by Mahatma Gandhi on 9 August 1942, it was marked by violence in several parts of the country, including Moradabad. The Britishers started arresting freedom fighters across the country to minimize the impact of the movement, and they arrested many of them on the eve of 9th, including Congress leader Daudayaal Khanna. When the news of Khanna's arrest spread in the city, the next day (on 10 August), people started gathering at Pan Dariba to take out a procession against the arrest of freedom fighters. The news of this gathering reached police officers, and they immediately reached Pan Dariba and started aerial firing. This enraged the protesters, who resorted to stone pelting. In turn, police started firing indiscriminately on the protesters, killing many of them and injuring more than 200. The martyrs also included a 11 years old Jagdish Prasad Sharma, who was trying to hoist a flag on an electric pole.

India got its independence on August 15, 1947, and since Moradabad was not a part of any princely states at that time, it immediately became part of the Independent India. Since then, the city and the district remained largely peaceful, except for the riots in 1980, which are considered the first major riots of Independent India. The structure of the district remained largely the same even after independence, with Amroha, Sambhal, Thakurdwara, Bilari, and Kanth tehsils coming under its jurisdiction. On April 15, 1997, Amroha was carved out of Moradabad into a separate district, while on September 28, 2011, Sambhal was also carved out into another separate district.
