Is there any link of the dreaded terrorist organization Islamic State to the Gorakhnath temple attack in Gorakhpur? The answer to this question is more likely to be yes. Amidst the investigation of Murtaza’s links with terrorist organizations, a video has come to the fore, in which the same weapon is seen in the hand of an ISIS terrorist, as Murtaza had in hand. After this video released by the organization named IS India on March 25, the possibility has increased that Murtaza is a pawn of ISIS, which has become synonymous with fear around the world.
According to a report in India Today, this 4-minute video was released on Telegram on March 25. The masked terrorists present in it claim to have four sleeper cells in India. The language of the video is extremely inflammatory. It depicts indigenous weapons, including the Gandasa or Banki, in which Murtaza attacked the Gorakhnath temple.
In such a situation, the question is arising whether this video has any link with the Gorakhpur attack? Did ISIS already indicate an attack from this video? Does Murtaza have a direct connection with this video or did he choose Banki as the weapon of attack only after watching this video? The answer to these questions will be known only after investigation, but for the time being this video remains a topic of discussion. The UP Police has already said that the documents found in the investigation are very sensational.
According to sources, videos containing provocative speeches of controversial Islamic preacher Zakir Naik have been found in the laptop found with Murtaza. It is being told that many videos of Islamic State have also been found in it, which Murtaza had seen many times before the attack. It is not yet clear whether the video that was released on Telegram was also in Mortaza’s laptop.
