Ayodhya police detained a 55-year-old Kashmiri man, Asad Shaikh, for allegedly attempting to offer namaz near the Ram temple complex. His son stated Shaikh has a mental illness and is under medication, suggesting he is not fit to travel alone. Police found no suspicious items and are investigating, with the Uttar Pradesh DGP stating it was not a security lapse. VHP-linked sadhus have renewed calls to restrict non-Hindus near the shrine.
