An incident of gunfire has occurred within the premises of the Ram Mandir complex in Ayodhya. On Tuesday, a jawan of the Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) deployed at the Ram Janmabhoomi complex was shot under suspicious circumstances. The injured jawan, hit in the chest by the bullet, has been referred to the trauma center in Lucknow for treatment.

Upon receiving the information, IG Ayodhya Range, Praveen Kumar, reached the scene.
