Abdul Rahman, an accused terrorist in a conspiracy to attack the Ram Temple, was murdered in a Faridabad jail and later laid to rest in his village amid heavy police security.
Abdul Rahman, who was accused of conspiring to attack the Ram Temple, was murdered in Neematka District Jail in Faridabad. Following the incident, security agencies and local administration went on high alert. This morning, his body was transported to Ayodhya by his father and relatives, where he was buried in Majnai village under heavy police presence. Arrangements were made in advance to ensure security, and the area was monitored to prevent any untoward incidents during the burial. Rahman was arrested in March 2025 by a joint operation of Gujarat ATS and Haryana STF, with investigating agencies claiming that he was involved in the conspiracy to attack the Ram Temple, with explosive material recovered based on his identification. The event surrounding his death has raised questions about security protocols in prisons and the handling of high-profile prisoners, especially those linked to sensitive cases involving communal tensions. The local police increased their presence in and around the village to manage any potential unrest related to his burial. Abdul's father, Abul Bakr, mentioned that he had last spoken to his son the previous Thursday, indicating worries about his safety given the nature of the charges against him. The incident symbolizes the ongoing fractious issues surrounding extremism and communal tensions in the region, highlighting the need for enhanced security and oversight in similar cases across India.
