Mathura; Heavy police force and PAC was deployed, when the activists of a splinter group, Baba Jai Gurudeo threatened to burn collectorate here today.
"Eight activists have been arrested and sent to jail," District Magistrate M Rajesh Kumar said.
"Footage of Mathura tehsil shows that all the eight activists of the splinter group were also involved in the attack in tehsil on April 4," the DM said.
Though no untoward incident has taken place, however, Army has also been kept at stand by and anybody taking law in his hand would not be spared.
