However, Mahant Giri’s disciple Anand Giri made a big statement talking to Zee News, alleging that Mahant Giri’s death is a case of murder, demanding thorough investigation by the authorities.
Anand Giri alleged that some people are engaged in activities to create a rift between him and the late Mahant, saying that he was completely healthy when he last met him.
Several big names have condoled the death of Mahant Giri, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
The Police have arrested Mahant Narendra Giri’s disciple Anand Giri who has been named in a suicide note along with two others.
Uttar Pradesh ADG Law and Order Prashant Kumar was quoted by ANI saying, “Information was received that the President of Akhil Bharatiya Akhada Parishad, Mahant Narendra Giri died by suicide. The disciples told the police that around 3-4 pm, they broke the door which was locked from inside and found him hanging,” adding that, “A suicide note was recovered in which he accused Anand Giri and two others for this step. Anand Giri has been arrested from Haridwar with the help of Uttarakhand Police and further probe is underway.”
This came hours after Anand Giri had talked to Zee News.
