Police on Sunday arrested a man for allegedly threatening to kill self-styled godman Dhirendra Krishna Shastri of Bagheshwar Dham, an official said.
Superintendent of police (rural) Raj Kumar Agarwal said, "We have arrested one Anas Ansari for issuing a death threat to Dhirendra Shastri in a post on the social media platform Instagram." The arrest was made after a member of a local Hindu group lodged an FIR regarding the social media post at Hafizganj police station earlier in the day.
