Ayodhya, India: Security forces arrested a suspected terrorist, Abdul Rehman, in possession of two hand grenades, foiling an alleged plot to target the Ram Temple during Ramzan.

Following the arrest, security has been heightened around the Ram Temple and other sensitive locations in Ayodhya. Additional CCTV surveillance, police checkpoints, and intelligence monitoring have been deployed to counter any threats during Ramzan.
Legal Action Underway
Abdul Rehman is currently in police custody, and he may face charges under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and the Explosives Act. Authorities are also tracking Rehman's communications, financial transactions, and possible local support networks.
Nationwide Alert Issued
In response to this foiled terror attempt, intelligence agencies have alerted security forces across India, particularly in Uttar Pradesh and other states with high-profile religious sites. National security agencies, including the NIA (National Investigation Agency), are monitoring the case closely.
The arrest has raised serious concerns about terror threats to India’s religious and cultural heritage sites, with authorities leaving no stone unturned in ensuring public safety and national security.
