The Hindu
Top disciple Anand Giri booked, taken into custody
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday said those guilty in the death by alleged suicide of prominent Hindu seer would be punished after an independent investigation and Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav, who along with Mr. Adityanath visited Prayagraj to offer their final respects to the deceased seer, demanded that a probe be conducted by a sitting judge of the Allahabad High Court.
Giri was known to have had friendly ties with both the BJP and SP.
The police have booked Anand Giri, a close disciple of Narendra Giri till they had a public fallout earlier this year, for abetment of suicide and brought him to Prayagraj for questioning after detaining him in Haridwar with the assistance of the Uttarakhand police.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
