PRAYAGRAJ, September 22 (HS): The death of an apex Hindu seer Narendra Giri is being examined from all angles, and the perpetrators will not be spared, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath said on Tuesday, as numerous political parties, including the Samajwadi Party and Shiv Sena, demanded a CBI investigation. Adityanath stated that the case will be solved shortly and that evidence in connection with the death of the seer has been gathered. ?The autopsy will be performed on Wednesday.. “I respectfully request that no superfluous statements be made during the investigation process, and that the investigative agencies do their work,” Adityanath told reporters here on Tuesday.
The chief minister, who paid his respects to Narendra Giri, told reporters that the police are working together under the direction of the additional director general (Allahabad zone) and the IG. Several pieces of evidence have been obtained in connection with the crime, according to Adityanath, and the case is being investigated by a team of senior police officials.
According to the chief minister, a five-member team will conduct a post-mortem examination on his body on Wednesday, and the 62-year-old seer would be laid to rest in a ?samadhi’ according to religious ceremonies and beliefs. “I recall how he pledged his unwavering support for making the Prayagraj Kumbh 2019 an international event. His contribution to religious society will be remembered for a long time. He is not with us today, which is a great loss.,? CM opined. He also said, “I pray to Lord Shri Ram to provide peace to his soul.” The seer’s body was discovered hanging from the ceiling by his disciples on Monday, according to police. The suspected suicide was pinned on the seer’s student, Anand Giri, and two others, according to the suicide note found in the room. ?With the cooperation of Uttarakhand police, we detained Anand Giri in Haridwar based on the suicide note. Prashant Kumar, ADG (law and order), UP, said, “Anand Giri is being brought to UP for further questioning.” Anand Giri, as well as the other two people identified in the complaint, have been detained.
The first information report, or FIR, was filed late Monday night under section 306 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The case against Anand Giri was filed on the allegation of Baghambari Math ashram sewadar Amar Giri Pawan Maharaj, according to SP City Dinesh Kumar Singh. Mahant Giri was stressed, according to the complaint, and used to accuse Anand of tormenting him, Singh added.
KP Maurya, the state’s deputy chief minister, also stated that the state government will assist the investigation and is even prepared for a CBI investigation. “The incident will be examined, and the perpetrators will face the worst punishment possible.” “The government stands ready to assist with any investigation,” Maurya said. “We’re also prepared for a CBI investigation if it’s necessary.” “Whatever the demands of Akhada Parishad are, the government will not back down,” he added. The allegation was dubbed “conspiracy” by Anand. “It’s a large conspiracy by people who used to extort money from Guruji and signed the letter with my name on it. Guruji has never written a letter in his life and could not commit suicide, thus it needs to be explored. It’s necessary to investigate his handwriting,” he said.
