Mahant Narendra Giri's Death- Disciple Anand Giri & Priest Aadya Tiwari Sent To 14 Days Judicial Custody By Prayagraj Court

Anand Giri, the disciple of late Akhil Bharatiya Akhada Parishad President Mahant Narendra Giri and Hanuman temple priest Aadya Tiwari, have been sent to 14 days judicial custody by a Prayagraj court in connection with the death of Mahant Narendra Giri.

Mahant Narendra Giri (72), was found dead inside his room at the Baghambari Math in UP's Pyayagraj on Monday (September 20), and the names of the accused Giri and Tiwari had surfaced in an alleged suicide note which is said to have been written by the Hindu saint shortly before he allegedly died by suicide.

The letter, allegedly written by Mahant Narendra Giri stated that he feared that Anand Giri would circulate a morphed photo of him with a woman to defame him and that it won't be possible for him to give an explanation. He had also expressed that he was deeply disturbed by Anand Giri's false allegations of financial irregularities against him.

The FIR registered against Anand Giri (booking him under Section 306 of IPC) states that Mahant Narendra himself used to say that he is being troubled by Anand Giri.

As per media reports, before presenting him in the Prayagraj Court, disciple Anand Giri was questioned for 12 hours by the police in connection with the case along with hanuman temple priest Aadya Tiwari and his son Sandeep Tiwari.

Niranjani Akhara has rejected Mahant Narendra Giri's suicide note as fake and has stated that he didn't know how to write.

Importantly, a letter petition has also been moved before the Allahabad High Court recently in which a demand has been made that CBI should investigate the matter.
