Ayodhya Ram Temple Security Breach: Man Detained for Trying to Offer Namaz Inside

A man was detained for a security breach at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya after attempting to offer namaz inside the complex. The individual, reportedly from Kashmir, was stopped by security and allegedly shouted slogans before being handed to police.

A security breach at the Ram Temple complex in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, was reported on Saturday when a man attempted to offer namaz inside the sacred site’s premises, police and eyewitnesses said.

The incident occurred near the southern ramparts of the temple complex, a location considered highly sensitive due to the religious significance and large crowds of devotees visiting the site. Authorities quickly detained the man to prevent any disruption of law and order.

According to multiple reports, the individual reportedly from Kashmir — was seen performing Islamic prayers at the southern boundary of the temple grounds early in the morning. When security personnel and onlookers intervened to stop him, the man allegedly began shouting religious slogans, prompting temple security to take prompt action and hand him over to the local police for questioning.

Senior police officials and intelligence agencies have since launched an investigation into the incident to ascertain the man’s motives and whether any wider security concerns are involved.

Given the sensitive nature of the Ram Temple — a site of deep religious sentiment and national attention — the case has drawn attention from law enforcement at multiple levels.

Both district administration and the Ram Temple Trust have remained largely silent, with no official public statement released yet about the breach or the detained individual’s background. Security agencies are reportedly examining whether the act was spontaneous or had any larger intent before releasing details.

The episode highlights heightened security challenges at major religious sites in India, especially those with significant historical and communal importance. Authorities have assured the public that the situation is under control and that the trust and temple management are cooperating with police and intelligence teams to ensure no escalation occurs.

In the past, authorities have taken extensive measures to protect the Ram Temple premises, including the construction of advanced police infrastructure nearby to monitor and respond to such threats efficiently.
