Three members of a right wing outfit were today arrested for their alleged role in a bomb attack on a religious place last week.
The members of 'Jai Shri Ram Hindu Bhai', who were also running a WhatsApp group in the same name, had attacked a mosque in retaliation to desecration of an idol in a temple a few days ago, police said.
"We are also investigating the case of desecration of idols at the temple on top priority, soon it will be worked out and the results would be shocking," Faizabad SSP Mohit Gupta told PTI.
"Members of this group were conspiring to create communal tension in the city.
"We got the clue after tracking the social sites, specially the WhatsApp groups, when we put the mobiles on surveillances, our team decoded the messages sent on this social group," Gupta said.
A crude bomb was hurled at the mosque on the night of October 13.
Main accused Raja Jaiswal, along with Rishabh Pathak and Manmohan Singh, were arrested today, police said, adding that all of them are residents of Faizabad city.
