Security Tightened In Mathura Over Threat To Install Krishna Idol In Mosque

Security has been tightened in Mathura to avoid any untoward incident ahead of December 6, the date on which the Babri mosque was demolished in Ayodhya in 1992, officials said on Saturday. Four right-wing groups, the Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha, Srikrishna Janmabhumi Nirman Nyas, Narayani Sena and the Srikrishna Mukti Dal, had earlier sought permission to install a Krishna idol at the deity's "actual birthplace", which they claimed is in a mosque close to a prominent temple here on December 6.
