The incident occurred amidst a backdrop of heightened tensions surrounding the recent Pran Pratistha ceremony in Ayodhya, where devotees from across the country gathered to witness the consecration of the Ram Lalla idol. It is noteworthy that a bhava programme was held in the Ram Janaki Temple on the same day as the ceremony in Ayodhya.

Rahul Sahu, the younger brother of Rohit Sahu, expressed his apprehensions, stating, "I got information about threat letters pasted on the temple's walls and scattered on the floor in the morning. When I came here, I too saw threat letters scattered everywhere. I got scared, closed the doors and put up the police barricades in order to avoid any situation that could possibly arise."

Authorities swiftly responded to the situation, with the police arriving promptly after receiving information about the threats. "We have found out about threatening posters inside the temple premises. We will file a case against the miscreants involved. The letter has certain objectionable things written on it," stated the police, highlighting the seriousness of the matter.
