PRAYAGRAJ/LUCKNOW: Akhil Bharatiya Akhara Parishad chief Mahant Narendra Giri was under intense mental duress ever since he had got information that his disciple Anand Giri was planning to upload on social media his morphed picture with a girl or a woman in objectionable condition. This was his main accusation against Anand Giri in the 14-page suicide note that he has reportedly left behind in his room where he was found hanging.
"Truth will eventually prevail but by then my image would have been tarnished...So I am going to commit suicide and Anand Giri, Adya Tewari and his son Sandeep Tiwari will be responsible for it," he has further explained the reason for his extreme step.
There were reports of his 'video' message which he had recorded just before his death as well, but police didn't officially confirm its existence.
Anand Giri, who was detained at his Haridwar ashram on Monday evening, was formally arrested and brought to Prayagraj on Tuesday. A priest of the city's Bade Hanuman Ji Mandir, Adya Tiwari and his son Sandeep Tiwari, named in the sucide note, have also been arrested. In the FIR lodged in the case, Anand Giri has been accused of abatment of suicide.
In the note which he has been scribbled on the letterhead of Shri Math Baghmbari Gaddi, Mahant Giri has sought 'legal action' against these three people responsible for this suicide. He has further mentioned that he had earlier planned to end his life on September 13, but couldn't muster courage to do so.

Meanwhile, after an FIR was lodged against Anand Giri under section 306 of IPC with the Georgetown police station, additional DG (Prayagraj zone) Prem Prakash on Tuesday formed an 18-member special investigation team (SIT) to conduct the investigations.
ADG told TOI that the SIT comprises two deputy SPs, four inspectors, three sub-inspectors, two head constables and others. The SIT will be headed by deputy SP (Colonelganj) Ajeet Chauhan.

SP (city) Dinesh Kumar Singh on Tuesday said that an FIR had been registered against Anand Giri on the complaint of an employee of the Math, Amar Giri Pawan Maharaj. “Anand Giri has been booked under section 306 (adetment of suicide) of IPC in connection with the death of the mahant,” he told TOI, adding that the police were investigating the sequence of events after filing the FIR.
Police said that Pawan Giri has alleged in the FIR that the ABAP president had retired in a room of the math as usual after having lunch on September 20. The mahant used to have tea at around 3pm daily, but on Sunday he told his followers that he would call for tea whenever he desired.
When the mahant’s followers and disciples, including Sumit Tiwari, Sarvesh Kumar and Dhananjay did not hear from him till 5 pm also and found that his mobile phone was switched off, they pushed open the door of the room, only to find the body of the mahant hanging with the ceiling. They immediately brought the body down and informed the local police.
The complainant further alleged that the mahant was in severe depression for the past couple of months due to some issues with Anand Giri and also shared this information with other seers and disciples.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and former CM Akhilesh Yadav were among prominent people who reached the math to pay their tributes to the late mahant. Yogi said that a four-member high-level team was probing Giri's death and culprits won't be spared. Akhilesh, on the other hand, sought a probe by a sittig HC judge.
A large number of the mahant's disciples and devotees reached the Baghambari Gaddi, where the mahant's body had been kept on Tuesday. His mortal remains would be taken out in a procession in the city on Wednesday. As per his wish, he would be given 'samadhi' at the premises of Baghambari Gaddi Math later in the day. He has also desired that his disciple Balbir Giri should be anointed as his heir.
