LUCKNOW: The Tamil Nadu youth who was arrested on June 7 for threatening to trigger blasts at RSS offices in Lucknow, Gonda and four places in Karnataka, was radicalized online and inspired by Islamic preacher Zakir Naik, claimed officials of the Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) of the Uttar Pradesh Police on Wednesday.
However, the trigger for his threat to blow RSS offices was Gyanvapi row in UP and the hijab controversy in Karnataka, said ATS officials interrogating Raj Mohammed (20).
