“On January 19, the man dialed 112, the emergency number for citizens. He claimed to be Chhota Shakeel, a close aide to Dawood Ibrahim, Singh told PTI.
“Alam said over the phone that he would blow up the Ram temple in Ayodhya on January 22… he does not have a criminal record but seems to be mentally unstable,” the SP said.
Singh stated that “given the sensitivity of the issue,” a case has been registered at the Palasi police station. Police have also seized his phone.
The police officer stated, “As soon as the call was received, details were shared with the cyber cell. The mobile number from which he made the call was found to be registered in his father’s name.”
