A Class 11 student from Bihar has been arrested for allegedly posting a bomb threat related to the ongoing Maha Kumbh Mela in Uttar Pradesh. The student, in an attempt to settle a personal score, created a fake Instagram profile using the name of one of his classmates. The accused posted provocative content, including a threat to kill 1,000 devotees during the Mela, causing panic.
The Maha Kumbh Mela, a major religious gathering that attracts millions of pilgrims, has heightened security measures, and the bomb threat led to immediate investigations. The police were able to trace the fake account and quickly apprehended the student, who is now facing serious charges.
The incident underscores the growing concerns about online threats and cybercrimes, especially during major public events like the Kumbh Mela, where the safety and security of participants are of paramount importance. Authorities have urged the public to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity to ensure the safety of the Mela.
