According to the Rajasthan Police, a woman connected to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) got a threat letter over a social media post she made on the Gyanvapi case.

An incident has been reported, according to the Sadar Police Station’s Station House Officer (SHO). “In Alwar, a lady who had posted on social media about the Gyanvapi case had received a letter of threat. She is connected to the BJP. She got a letter informing her that she will be executed by beheading. A case has been opened on the incident, and surveillance footage is being examined “says SHO.

An appeal by the Anjuman Islamia Masjid committee last week opposing the complaint brought by five Hindu women seeking the privilege to pray within the Gyanvapi mosque grounds was rejected by the Varanasi Court.

Five ladies submitted the petition, which asked for authorization to allow daily worship of Hindu deities whose idols are allegedly located on the exterior wall of the nearby Gyanvapi mosque. The mosque is next to the Kashi Vishwanath temple. A Varanasi court then mandated the survey of the mosque compound.

Earlier on June 28, Kanhaiya Lal Teli, a former BJP leader who had made divisive comments against the Prophet Mohammad, was slain at his Udaipur business. It is believed that Teli published a social media message in favour of Sharma.
