Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) accusing it of exaggeration in the Gorakhnath Temple attack case and asked the authorities to pay heed to the accused’s mental condition while probing the matter.
“His father said he has a psychiatric problem, dealing with a bipolar issue, I feel we need to pay heed to that as well (for probe)…BJP is a party that exaggerates, “ANI quoted Akhilesh Yadav, former CM of Uttar Pradesh, as saying.
Ahmad Murtaza Abbasi, the accused in the Gorakhnath temple attack case, was brought to Lucknow to the Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) headquarters for further investigations earlier today. His laptop and mobile have also been sent to Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) for further investigation.
