Mumbai: Shiv Sena MP and executive editor of Saamna, Sanjay Raut on Monday raised question on the suspicious death of Akhil Bharatiya Akhada Parishad (ABAP) President Mahant Narendra Giri. He said that Uttar Pradesh government has to give answer to the incident.
Sanjay Raut speaking to ANI said that one who guides people cannot commit suicide. He said that the suicide is absurd and there is some secret behind all this.
He asked for proper scrutiny of the case and said that Mahant Giri was close to Shiv Sena, “This incident is very painful for Hindu society. Mahant Narendra Giri had good relations with Shiv Sena. He had been ahead in every movement of Hinduism. The investigation should be done properly to quash any attempts of hiding things in this matter,” he added.
Raut cited the two deaths in Palghar and said that the incident was disheartening and questions were raised from Delhi to Uttar Pradesh.
“Today Uttar Pradesh government will have to answer the questions that are being raised from Delhi to Maharashtra regarding Maharaj’s death,” he stated.
Mahant Narendra Giri’s death
Mahant Narendra Giri was found hanging in the room of the Bangbari Gaddi Math in Allapur. On receiving the news, police officers also reached the spot. IG Range KP Singh told that he has reached the spot. At present, it seems to be a case of suicide by hanging. Forensic team has been called to the spot. A large number of devotees and devotees have also reached the Math.
A suicide note of eight pages was recovered, in which the names of his disciples, Anand Giri and two others were mentioned, following which an FIR was registered against Anand Giri under Section 306 of IPC (abetment of suicide) on the basis of a complaint filed by another disciple Amar Giri Pawan Maharaj.
Earlier in the day, the police took Anand, who termed the allegation as conspiracy, into custody.
“It is a big conspiracy by people who used to extort money from Guruji and wrote my name in the letter. It needs to be investigated as Guruji has not written a letter in his life and could not do suicide. His handwriting needs to be probed,” he stated.
The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also paid his last respects at the ABAP president’s residence and ensured that a proper investigation will be conducted and the culprits will not be spared.
