Lucknow. Terrorist conspiracy is being feared in the incident that took place in UP’s Gorakhnath temple on Sunday.
Additional Chief Secretary Home Avnish Kumar Awasthi and ADG Law and Order Prashant Kumar told the media at Lok Bhavan on Monday that there is a possibility of terrorist conspiracy in last night’s Gorakhpur temple incident. The investigation of this case has been handed over to Uttar Pradesh ATS and STF. The help of NIA can also be taken in this matter.
Talking to reporters, Additional Chief Secretary Home Avnish Kumar Awasthi said that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has announced a reward of five lakh rupees to the brave soldiers who were injured while catching the attacker. ADG Prashant Kumar expressed doubts that the incident could be part of a terror conspiracy. The travel history of the youth caught from there is also being investigated.
ADG Law and Order Prashant Kumar said that the investigation of the incident has been handed over to UP ATS and STF. ADG of both the agencies has been sent to Gorakhpur. What has been recovered from him indicates a deeper conspiracy. A case has been registered in this case at Gorakhnath police station. Terror involvement in this case cannot be ruled out so far. The incident is being thoroughly investigated.
ADG Law and Order said that at 7 pm a man attacked the policemen at gate number one and raised religious slogans. Two jawans Gopal Gaur and Anil Paswan have suffered serious injuries. The alert policemen there overpowered the man and arrested him. From what has been recovered from him, it seems that this was a preparation for a serious conspiracy. We cannot deny that this was not a terrorist incident. ATS team has gone there. The documents that we have got are quite sensational.
He said that a case has been registered at Gorakhnath police station. Right now the security plan of all the important institutions has been reviewed by the government. Under this, more posts have been sanctioned there. Under this review, the Gorakhnath Temple, Ayodhya, Varanasi, Mathura and other important buildings were protected. Had this person reached inside, the devotees could have been harmed. The situation could have been out of control. The officers arrested the accused with utmost restraint.
It is to be known that a youth attacked the security personnel deployed in the security of Gorakhnath temple premises in Gorakhpur on Sunday evening. Not only this, he also tried to provoke people by raising religious slogans. During this, some people have also received injuries.
