The court announced the quantum of sentence two days after it convicted Abbasi for attacking two PAC jawans outside the temple.
Abbasi, an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) graduate, on April 3, 2022, allegedly attacked the security personnel deployed at Gorakhnath temple  with a sharp-edged sickle and tried to forcibly enter the temple premises.
Two Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) constables were injured in the incident. However, the accused was overpowered by the security personnel and arrested.
The UP Home Department had earlier in a statement said, “The attack on police jawans at Gorakhnath temple in Gorakhpur is a part of deep conspiracy and, based on the available facts, it can be said that it was a terror incident.”
