LUCKNOW: A three-minute video that has gone viral purportedly showing Ahmad Murtaza Abbasi, the accused in Gorakhnath Temple attack cases, claiming that he was disturbed by the ‘suffering of Muslim community during the protest against CAA and NRC’.
The video appears to be from the time the ATS sleuths were interrogating him after the arrest. A source privy to the probe said that Murtaza confessed to attacking the temple. ADG (law and order) Prashant Kumar, however, said that the authenticity of the video was being verified. "The attack on the temple was part of a larger conspiracy and is being probed," he added.
