A threat message circulating on social media suggesting a potential attack on the Ram Temple at Ayodhya led police in Maharashtra's Beed district to take swift action. Authorities confirmed registering a case on this matter.
The complainant, identified as 24-year-old Suraj Gadekar from Shirur Kasar, reported the incident after encountering an objectionable comment on Instagram on July 11. The comment came from an account claiming to be based in Pakistan.
Gadekar engaged in a heated exchange with the user, who purportedly confirmed his location in Karachi and made derogatory remarks about Hinduism. This escalated to an audio threat targeting the Ram Temple, prompting authorities to launch an investigation under sections relating to religious offense and outrage.
