LUCKNOW – A team of Uttar Pradesh’s Special Task Force on Wednesday arrested Tahar Singh and Omprakash Mishra from the Vibhuti Khand area of Gomti Nagar in the state capital for a social media post threatening to bomb state Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and blow up Ayodhya’s Ram temple in a blast, officials said.
The two had allegedly threatened Adityanath, STF chief Amitabh Yash and Ayodhya’s Ram temple in a post on ‘X’ in November using the handle ‘@iDevendraOffice’, a police statement said.
The investigation initially revealed that email IDs ‘alamansarikhan608@gmail.com’ and ‘zubairkhanisi199@gmail.com’ were used to send the threat posts, PTI quoted the police statement as saying.
After technical analysis of the email IDs, it was found that Tahar Singh created the email accounts and Omprakash Mishra sent the threat messages, it added.
Singh and Mishra are both residents of Gonda and work in a paramedical institute, the statement said. The STF is probing the matter further, it added.
