Anand Giri, who was arrested for allegedly aiding the suicide of his teacher and Akhil Bhartiya Akhara Parishad head Narendra Giri, was granted Bail by the Allahabad High Court on Friday.
Acting on the bail plea of disciple Anand Giri of Bagahmbari math’s mahant-cum-ABAP chief, a Bench of Justice Rahul Chaturvedi asked the CBI to respond to the plea within four weeks.
On September 20, Seer Narendra Giri allegedly hanged himself in his room at Bagahmbari Math in Prayagraj.His pupil Anand Giri was detained on September 22 for allegedly aiding his Guru’s suicide, as Mahendra Giri accused him of blackmailing him by threatening to reveal some of his images in order to slander him in a suicide note.
Mahanth Giri identified two more people in his suicide letter, and they were also apprehended.
Anand Giri has claimed in his Bail application that he has been wrongfully accused of abetment of suicide, and that the suicide note’s validity should be questioned because there were too many cuts in the handwritten text.
He’s also claimed to have been somewhere else in Haridwar on the day of the Prayagraj event.
Anand Giri’s Bail application will be heard in four weeks.
