The Maharajganj Police of Uttar Pradesh Monday arrested Mubarak Ali, a youth who threatened to blow up the famous Gorakhnath temple in the city. The accused had reportedly made a fake Facebook ID in his friend’s name and posted a threat message to blast the Gorakhnath temple with a bomb.
The Maharajganj police said on Monday (22 August 2022) that Ali had created the Facebook ID while using a SIM in his friend Basalat Ali’s name and making the controversial post. He did it after Basalat asked him to return the money he had loaned him.

A joint team of the Cyber Cell and the Kotwali police investigated the case and arrested Mubarak Ali, a Matihania resident.
According to media reports, Mubarak Ali had borrowed Rs 40,000 from his friend Basalat Ali, a resident of Kota Mukundpur village under the Kotwali police station limit. Soon, Basalat Ali started asking him to return the money. Mubarak Ali did not want to return the money so he hatched a conspiracy to implicate Basalat Ali. He took a SIM in the name of Basalat Ali and made a fake Facebook ID and posted the threat message to implicate him in a police case, but he was caught in the investigation.
