Police on Monday arrested a man who allegedly threatened to blow up the Gorakhpur temple, using a fake Facebook account to get his friend into trouble.

Mubarak Ali was accused of creating a Facebook ID using a SIM in his friend's, Basalat Ali's, name, when the latter asked him to return the money he had loaned him, police said.

According to the police, the accused in order to not return the money made a fake Facebook ID in his friend's name and posted a threat message to blast the Gorakhnath temple.
