Authorities learned on Friday that a device had been discovered outside Yogi Adityanath’s official residence, the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh. Officials hurried to the scene, but the information turned out to be false, and they said there was no explosive.
Following the bomb scare, security was increased outside the chief minister’s mansion, and a bomb disposal squad also showed up.
The crime is still under investigation, and police are working to manage the situation.
Yogi Adityanath had received threats in 2022.
Notably, in August 2022, Yogi Adityanath’s life was threatened in a WhatsApp message that was sent to the UP Police’s text helpline number. The message was received on the Dial-112 helpline’s WhatsApp number. After that, a man named Mohammad Ajmal wrote a letter to Devendra Tiwari, National President of the Bharatiya Kisan Manch, warning him that he had overindulged in “Gow Raksha (cow protection)” and “Goshala (cowshed)” during the reign of CM Aditynath and threatening “dire repercussions” if he didn’t change his ways. Yogi Adityanath, the chief minister, has security protection; otherwise, he would have been destroyed long ago. You must change your ways or risk losing your life in vain.For example, take Kamlesh Tiwari and Ranjit Bacchan- both were from Lucknow, where they are now, even you know…That’s why I am telling you, mend your ways, or else you will be with them very soon,”the letter stated.
On October 18, 2019, Kamlesh Tiwari, a leader of the Hindu Samaj Party, was fatally shot and stabbed in his home in Lucknow’s Khurshidbagh. Similarly, on February 2, 2020, while out on a morning walk in Lucknow, the founder of the Vishwa Hindu Mahasabha, Ranjit Bacchan, was shot and killed a short distance from the Uttar Pradesh assembly complex.
