Share:

Kanpur: The Ram Janaki Temple in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, found itself at the center of a security concern as it received a bomb threat on Sunday, merely six days after the significant Pran Prathishtha ceremony for Ram Lalla in Ayodhya. The temple, steeped in historical and cultural significance, witnessed an unsettling incident when posters explicitly mentioning bomb threats were discovered affixed to its walls and scattered across the floor.

Adding to the gravity of the situation, Rohit Sahu, a BJP leader and trustee of the Ram Janaki Temple, received a threatening letter, intensifying the apprehensions surrounding the temple's security. The incident unfolded against the backdrop of a bhava program held at the temple on the same day as the Pran Pratistha ceremony in Ayodhya, underscoring the broader context of religious events taking place in the region.

Rahul Sahu, the younger brother of Rohit Sahu, shared his account of the distressing discovery, stating, "I received information about threat letters pasted on the temple's walls and scattered on the floor in the morning. Upon my arrival, I observed threat letters scattered everywhere. Concerned for safety, I closed the doors and installed police barricades to prevent any potential issues."

Local law enforcement acted swiftly upon receiving the information, reaching the temple promptly. A police spokesperson confirmed the discovery of threatening posters within the temple premises and assured that legal action would be taken against the individuals responsible. The contents of the letter were described as objectionable, raising concerns about the potential motivations behind the threat.

This incident not only highlights the vulnerability of religious institutions to security threats but also underscores the need for heightened vigilance and preventive measures to safeguard places of worship. Authorities are expected to conduct a thorough investigation to identify those responsible for the threat and ensure the security of the temple and its worshippers.
