An anonymous person has
threatened to attack the Mahabodhi
temple in Bodh Gaya, a top district official said on
Tuesday.
An SMS has been received by Gaya's Senior Superintendent of Police
(SSP) Manu Maharaj from an anonymous person who has threatened to
attack the world famous Buddhist shrine at Bodh Gaya, District
Magistrate Sanjay Kumar Agrawal told PTI.
"We are
verifying the call details as well as the caller's identity and his
location," the DM said.
Agrawal
said the district administration would soon work out details in
this regard and take stringent action against the person for
threatening to attack the Buddhist shrine.
With
regard to security arrangements for Mahabodhi temple, the district
magistrate assured proper security.
Agrawal, who along
with SSP Manu Maharaj visited Mahabodhi temple to
review security measures, said that three companies
of Bihar Military
Police (BMP) had been deployed there on regular duty. 35 CCTVs are
also installed in and around the temple.
A terror attack had rocked Mahabodhi temple two years ago in which
a monk and a pilgrim had sustained injuries.
