The incident in which a man attacked police guards with a sharp weapon while trying to enter the Gorakhnath temple in Gorakhpur, leaving two Provincial Armed Constabulary jawans injured, could be called a terror attack, the Uttar Pradesh government said on Monday.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath represents Gorakhpur in the Assembly.
As the government handed over the probe into the incident to the ATS, a senior official said the breach was “serious” and part of a conspiracy.
