A team of Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) probing the attack on two PAC constables at a gate of Gorakhnath temple has reached Navi Mumbai to gather more information on the arrested accused Murtaza Abbasi, who used to live in one of the nodes of Mumbai’s satellite city, a police official said on April 5.
Mr. Abbasi had attacked two police constables with a sharp-edged weapon at a gate of the famed Gorakhnath temple and tried to barge into the premises on April 4 evening before he was overpowered.
The temple is under high security as it is frequently visited by U.P. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who is the head seer.
