Uttar Pradesh: Ram Janaki Temple in Kanpur receives bomb threat; case registered

Kanpur (Uttar Pradesh) [India], January 28 (ANI): Ram Janaki Temple in Uttar Pradesh's Kanpur received a bomb threat on Sunday, six days after the Pran Prathishtha ceremony of Ram Lalla in Ayodhya.

Several posters mentioning bomb threats were pasted on the walls and scattered on the floor of the ancient temple.

BJP leader Rohit Sahu, who is also a trustee of Ram Janaki Temple in Kanpur also received a threat letter.
Notably, a bhava programme was held in the Ram Janaki Temple on the day of the Pran Pratistha ceremony in Ayodhya.

Rahul Sahu, the younger brother of Rohit Sahu, said, "I got information about threat letters pasted on the temple's walls and scattered on the floor in the morning. When I came here, I too saw threat letters scattered everywhere. I got scared, closed the doors and put up the police barricades in order to avoid any situation that could possibly arise."

The police immediately reached the spot after receiving information regarding the same.
"We have found out about threatening posters inside the temple premises. We will file a case against the miscreants involved. The letter has certain objectionable things written on it," police said. (ANI)
