Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: A threat message to a man on social media about an attack at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya has prompted the police in Maharashtra's Beed district to register a case, an official said on Saturday.

According to the police, the complainant, Suraj Gadekar (24), a resident of Shirur Kasar, alleged that he was watching a reel on Instagram when he found an objectionable comment from an account on July 11.
