Food bloggers Rocky and Mayur have a meltdown over Aryan Khan’s arrest, invoke Adani and Sadhus to defend SRK’s son

Food bloggers Rocky and Mayur appear to have lost their temper after Aryan Khan, son of Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan, was detained by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) after a raid at a rave party. They had a spectacular meltdown on social media, going on a rant about the incident. Aryan Khan, meanwhile, has been arrested since then.

Rocky and Mayur suggested that Aryan was being targeted because of mala fide intentions and said that “big thieves”, in a not-so-subtle dig at Gautam Aadani, will continue to get away. After former TOI journalist Rohan Dua, currently editor at The New Indian, pointed out that a lobby was out to defend Aryan, the food bloggers took offense and said that he demanded to know about the drug bust in Gujarat, another dig at Adani.

Rocky and Mayur also dragged in Hindu Sadhus who consume marijuana in his bid to defend Aryan Khan. It is also not known what drugs were being consumed in the rave party raided by NCB. It is not known whether the individuals were consuming Marijuana or harder drugs. Thus, to make that argument is preposterous.

When Dua questioned whether he had reported any of these incidents to the police, the food bloggers decided to question his journalism instead.

The Gujarat drugs case the food bloggers were hinting at occurred in a port controlled by Adani. The heroin that was seized was smuggled from Afghanistan and the ship had arrived from Iran. The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has taken custody of Chennai-based Machavaram Sudhakar and his wife Govindaraju Durga Purna Vaisali in connection with the matter.

Despite what people such as Rocky and Mayur might want to suggest, Adani was not personally involved in the drug bust. If Adani can be held responsible for criminals attempting to smuggle drug through his port, then restaurant owners will have to be charged if a customer opens fire at the establishment. It does not make any sense.

Dua suggested that he state it clearly if he wants marijuana to be legalized instead of making circular arguments. Highlighting the fact that the food bloggers did not report drug consumption to law enforcement authorities, he said, “If you didnt feel the urge to report it even from 5 feet distance, then what’s the fake concern and outrage even about?”

Rocky and Mayur are not the only ones who have invoked Adani to defend Aryan Khan over the drug bust. Liberals across the board have made the same argument in order to give Aryan a free pass. Unfortunately for them, the NCB does not appear to be in the mood to buy into the arguments.

They have arrested Aryan and other detainees over the matter and would seek police remand to continue their investigation into the matter.

Mamata Banerjee wins Bhabanipur assembly seat, BJP says courtesy to fake voters

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee won Bhabanipur assembly after she defeated her nearest rival Priyanka Tibrewal of the BJP by a margin of 58,832 votes after counting was held on Sunday. A jubilant CM and boss of Trinamool Congress (TMC) Mamata Banerjee said that voters of Bhabanipur responded to their faith and claimed that this is a reply to such people who had hatched conspiracy to defeat her from Nandigram assembly seat.

Bhabanipur is a relatively small constituency that she represented twice in 2011 and 2016. Around 1.18 lakh voters had cast their votes in this bypoll that was held on 30th September, 2021. Banerjee registered the victory by a record margin of 58,832 votes. She secured 85,263 votes against her BJP rival who got 26428 votes. In 2011, she had won this seat with a margin of over 54,000 votes.

Mamata Banerjee claimed that about 46% of the electorate of Bhabanipur is ‘non-Bengali’ who voted for her overwhelmingly. Nevertheless, during the assembly poll she had played a Bengali- non-Bengali card.
But even after such an astounding margin that Mamata Banerjee has flaunted, Priyanka Tibrewal had kept Mamata Banerjee worried throughout the by-poll.

The kind of alleged state sponsored unprecedented violence and persecution the BJP supporters and voters witnessed during the recently concluded assembly election of Bengal left a deep scar on the psyche of BJP supporters. Despite that the BJP dared challenging her despite the fact that the BJP is organizationally weak in Bhabanipur.

BJP’s Priyanka Tibrewal has alleged that Mamata Banerjee won by-poll with the help of fake voters. “People were not allowed to vote, otherwise the result would have been different. Fake voters were used to cast votes and by-poll was rigged,” she told the media. On day of voting, too, she had alleged that people were casting their votes on basis of fake voter ID.

The bypolls were conducted because Mamata Banerjee lost the Nandigram seat she was contesting from in elections held earlier this year to BJP’s Suvendu Adhikari. Adhikari, a former TMC leader was a close aide of Banerjee before he quit the party and joined the BJP. Mamata Banerjee swore in as CM even when she lost the Nandigram seat. Hence, for her to win the Bhabanipur bypolls was very crucial to hold on to her seat.

Though, the TMC legislative body unanimously elected her as chief minister but under the constitutional norms she had to become member of the house within six months of taking oath. Sobhandeb Chattopadhyay of TMC who won Bhabanipur by defeating BJP’s Rudranil Ghosh vacated this seat for Mamata Banerjee to contest the by-polls.

Maharashtra govt allows reopening of Mumba Devi temple but bans flowers, garlands, and prasad

The Maharashtra government has decided to reopen the Mumba Devi temple from October 7 onwards, with certain restrictions that have now miffed the devotees. This comes after CM Uddhav Thackeray had announced last month that religious places of worship will be reopened from the onset of the Navaratri festival.

ANI reported that the temple premises will be accessible for fully vaccinated individuals, while unvaccinated devotees need to register on the temple website and upload a negative COvid-19 certificate. Moreover, the Maharashtra government has barred the use of puja essentials, preventing devotees from offering flowers, garlands, or prasad to the deity.

Besides, the government had also prohibited the touching of idols, religious scriptures, and the sprinkling of Holy water. Devotees have also been asked to maintain a distance of 6 feet and use face masks/covers at all times. Children below the age of 10 years and senior citizens have been directed to stay at home.

The restrictions imposed on temple devotees have angered the netizens. A Twitter user asked, “Are the same protocols applicable to churches, mosques & gurudwaras?”

Another user, Ananya Mishra, remarked, “Flower, garlands & Prasad not allowed. Just come to donate money in the Hundi to raise govt’s income.”

Another user took potshots at the government and said, “Flower, Prasad, garlands not allowed… Why did you reopen the temples then? Is it to allow making of Instagram reels on temple premises?”

BJP staged protests for reopening of temples

On August 30, Chandrakant Patil, state chief BJP, held a ‘shankhanad andolan’ and sought the reopening of temples for the public. Protests were held by the party workers outside temples across the state in cities including Mumbai, Nashik, Pune, Nagpur, and Solapur. The party workers marched towards the temples blowing conch shells. Patil said, “The shankhanad is necessary to wake up the Maha Vikas Aghadi government, which is in deep slumber. Pleas demanding the reopening of temples have gone unheard for the past 15 months.”

Anna Hazare, the social activist, had also raised questions over the Maharashtra government’s orders to open bars and pubs in the state while the temples were still closed. Hazare has offered his support if devotees hold protests to lift curbs on the temples in the state.

Bomb blast at Kabul mosque where condolence prayers for Taliban spokesperson’s deceased mother were being held, several civilians dead

A powerful bomb blast in a mosque in Kabul in Afghanistan killed several people today. The blast took place at the historic Eidgah mosque in the city. Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid informed that the blast has left a number of civilian casualties.

Although the official number of casualties has not been released, social media posts suggest that at least 5 people have died and many more were injured in the blast. The blast took place near the entrance of the Eidgah mosque, the second largest mosque in Kabul located in the in Shar-e-Barq area.

Incidentally, the blast targeted the memorial prayers of the mother of Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid. Mujahid’s mother had passed away last Monday. Yesterday he had informed that the Fateha of his mother will be offered at the mosque today from 2 pm to 5 pm. This makes it clear that the bomb blast took place specifically to target the condolence prayer at the mosque.

So far, no terror group has claimed responsibility for the attack. However, since the Taliban took over the country in August, terror attacks by ISIS and its affiliated groups have increased in the country. Although adherents of same fundamental Islamic ideology, the Taliban and ISIS see each other as enemies.

‘Liberals’ lose their marbles, invoke Adani port drug haul after Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan arrested in rave party raid

‘Liberals’ lose their marbles, invoke Adani port drug haul after Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan arrested in rave party raid

On October 2, Narcotics Control Bureau raided a rave party that was happening on a cruise ship and arrested a few attendees, including Aryan Khan, son of actor Shah Rukh Khan. For few hours, the news reports did not reveal any name, but later, on October 3, NCB confirmed that Aryan was one of the detained individuals.

However, liberals and members of the Congress party and other ‘intellectuals’ got miffed by the reports. They invoked Adani port drug haul and alleged the government and NCB did not take any action on Adani but detailed Aryan just for ‘participating’ in the rave party.

In a tweet, Dr Shama Mohamed, National spokesperson, Indian National Congress, said, “NCB gets very busy arresting small fish on a cruise ship, but when it comes to the biggest fish of them all-the 3000 kg heroin smuggled from Adani’s Mundra port, NCB is completely mum. Why is NCB protecting the kingpins of the organised Drug Cartel & on whose orders!”

Congress Spokesperson Shama Mohamed thinks Adani is responsible for the drugs confiscated on Gujarat port

Shyam Meera Singh, journalist, News Click, brought out Aryan’s religion card and said, “Shahrukh’s son Aryan has only been detained for questioning, not arrested. No charges against him yet. But the entire Godi media is lagging behind due to him being a Muslim and a celebrity. Drugs worth 19 thousand crores were caught at Adani’s port. But No report was allowed anywhere.”

Journalist Shyam Meera Singh unnecessary comparing two completely different cases

Shyam Meera Singh was earlier employed with India Today group where he was fired over disciplinary grounds. However, despite that, he claimed martyrdom by dragging in PM Modi. In recent times, it has been quite lucrative for a lot of people to enhance their careers by abusing PM Modi and crying fascism.

Food critic and so-called intellectual duo Rocky and Mayur wrote, “My Lobby and I demand to know more about the thousands of kilos of drugs openly smoked in “Melas” and processions every day by sadhus and Nagas and openly so-also about the 3000 kilos bust in Gujarat-and, of course, this case, where did the drugs come from? When will they be caught?”

Rocky and Mayur’s meltdown on Twitter

To answer Rocky and Mayur’s question, the high quality heroin caught at Adani Port was smuggled from Afghanistan and the ship had sailed from Iran. Owing to alertness of Indian authorities, the drugs were seized. By the logic of Rocky and Mayur, if Adani is responsible for drugs caught in consignment at the port managed by them, the Kerala government should be responsible for the gold caught in rectum of smugglers at Cochin airport.

To answer Rocky and Mayur’s subsequent questions, the drugs were reportedly one Aashi Trading firm based out of Andhra Pradesh’s Vijayawada. The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has taken custody of Chennai-based Machavaram Sudhakar and his wife Govindaraju Durga Purna Vaisali. Further, investigation was also carried out in New Delhi, Chennai, Coimbatore, Ahmedabad, Mandvi, Gandhidham and Vijayawada in relation to the case.

What is more amusing is that when people more knowledgeable than Rocky and Mayur and with obvious more common sense tried to point out how their reasoning was flawed, they ‘hid’ the replies on the tweet.

Rocky and Mayur’s hidden replies

But like Rocky and Mayur, several other Twitter users brought down Twitters collective IQ by comparing the apples with oranges.

Why drug seizure at Adani port is not same as bunch of rich kids partying on cruise, snorting cocaine in middle of pandemic

Drug seizure at Adani port in Gujarat is not the same as a bunch of kids partying on a cruise ship in middle of a pandemic and allegedly doing drugs. Unlike what Congress and others with similar level of common sense want us to believe, drugs caught at Adani port were not smuggled by Adani himself. And that by no stretch of imagination means Gujaratis are drug addicts, as insinuated by Congress leaders.

However, the abysmally low IQ Congress supporters Twitter launched an attack on Adani Group after drugs worth Rs 9,000 crores were confiscated by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence(DRI) officials from Mundra Port in Gujarat’s Kutch. Since the port is managed by the Adani Group, Congress supporters and sympathisers, who harbour inexplicable animosity for the business conglomerate, rushed to Twitter and accused the chairman of the group, Gautam Adani, of using the port to smuggle the contraband. The situation went too far and the Adani group had to clarify that the law empowers the Government of India’s component authorities such as the Customs and the DRI to open, examine and seize any unlawful cargo and not the port operator, which in this case, was Adani Group.

In the case of Aryan Khan, he was allegedly present at the crime scene where a rave party was taking place. He was one of the attendees. Both cases are completely unrelated and attacking Adani over a rave party can only be described as a low-IQ political stunt.

Pakistani comedian Umer Sharif dies in Germany before reaching US for treatment, his request for help to Imran Khan was stuck in paperwork

On Saturday (October 2), Pakistani comedian Umer Sharif died in Germany at the age of 66, after suffering from serious heart complications. His demise was confirmed on Twitter by the Pakistani ambassador to Germany, Dr. Mohammad Faisal. In a tweet on Saturday, he wrote, “With deep sorrow, it is announced that Mr. Umer Sharif has passed away in Germany. Our deepest condolences to his family and friends. Our CG is present at the hospital to assist the family in every way.”

Prior to his death, Umer Sharif had appealed to the government to facilitate his visit abroad for further treatment. “My doctor has recommended me to travel abroad for better treatment. I had initially undergone treatment at the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Centre. Whenever Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan asked me to amplify his voice, I did so at his request. Today, when I need to be treated in the United States, I hope Imran Khan will listen to me and do the needful,” the comedian had made an appeal to the federal government on September 9.

Financial aid and the delay in travelling to the United States

Waseem Badami, the host at ARY News, added that Umer Sharif had to be treated within a span of two weeks. While taking cognisance of the matter, Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah had released PKR 4 crores for his treatment from the ‘Sindh Relief Measures and Discretionary Grants.’ However, it was only until September 14 that the matter was brought to the notice of the CM’s Secretariat. On September 16, Murtaza Wahab Siddiqui, the advisor to the Sindh CM, informed on Twitter that the US Consulate had issued the visa for Umer Sharif.

However, it was not until September 28 when Umer Sharif could finally depart for the US from Pakistan via an air ambulance. Waseem Badami had tweeted, “Finally, Umer Sharif left for America. Praise the Almighty. And thank you very much for the steps taken by the federal and Sindh government…Umer Bhai, get well soon and come back.” The Pakistani comedian, who had originally appealed to Imran Khan for help on September 9, could not leave the country for surgery until 3 weeks later on September 28.

He was scheduled to leave for the US last Sunday (26th September), but it was delayed as his health condition deteriorated hours before the scheduled departure. The departure was delayed as doctors had said that his condition was critical and it was not safe for him to travel. Finally, the air ambulance carrying him and his wife Zareen Umer had departed from Karachi on September 28. But it was too late by then, as Umer Sharif died before reaching USA for better treatment.

Umer Sharif hailed invasion of Somnath temple, had mocked Brahmins in the name of comedy

A popular figure in Pakistan and India, Umer Sharif’s health deteriorated during a stopover in Germany. He was rushed to a hospital where he succumbed to complications. The Pakistani comedian had appeared in the Indian comedy programme ‘Laughter Challenge.’ His death was mourned by several Indians, including comedian Kapil Sharma. However, Sharif exhibited religious bigotry during a Pakistani show and gleed at the destruction of the ancient Somnath temple by Islamic invaders.

“Read the history of Islam. We attacked Somnath 17 times before conquering it. Here will be just one round and Pakistan will beat India to raise its flag,” he was heard as saying. When he appeared on the ‘Laughter Challenge’, he mocked Brahmins by claiming that a Muslim man (who played the character of a Hindu pandit) took the name of ‘Allah instead of a Hindu God’.

Shahrukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan arrested in rave party case, NCB to seek police remand next

Aryan Khan, son of Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan, has been arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) after he was detained by the NCB after a raid at a rave party. He is reportedly being taken for a medical check up.

Reportedly, Aryaan Khan has been arrested under section Section 27A of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985. This means he is not charged with just consuming drugs, because this section deals with punishment for financing illicit traffic and harbouring offenders. It says that whoever indulges in financing dealings of narcotic products, directly or indirectly, will be punishable with rigorous imprisonment for a minimum ten years which may extend to twenty years, along with a fine.

ANI had reported that three of the eight detained individuals, including Aryan Khan, were taken for a medical examination. Arbaz Seth Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha were the other two individuals.

Two others have also been arrested in the matter, reports say. CNN News-18 reported that the NCB will seek remand of the accused next, in order to carry out further investigations into the matter.

Earlier, NCB Mumbai Director Sameer Wankhede had said that eight persons, namely, Aryan Khan, Arbaaz Merchant, Munmun Dhamecha, Nupur Sarika, Ismeet Singh, Mohak Jaswal, Vikrant Chhoker and Gomit Chopra were being questioned in connection with the raid.

As per reports, late last night the NCB detained at least ten people in a raid conducted on a cruise ship sailing from Goa to Mumbai. The high-profile party was organised onboard the Cordelia Cruises’ Empress ship. Based on a tip-off, the NCB officials had boarded the cruise ship after disguising themselves as passengers. Once the ship sailed off the coast of Mumbai, the rave party began and several passengers began consuming illicit drugs. The NCB officials swung into action and detained 7-8 individuals, who were allegedly seen taking drugs.

Some people have made my father Lalu Prasad hostage in Delhi, alleges Tej Pratap Yadav, brother Tejashwi reacts

Some people have made my father Lalu Prasad hostage in Delhi, alleges Tej Pratap Yadav, brother Tejashwi reacts

A fresh power tussle has erupted in the Lalu Prasad family as his elder son Tej Pratap Yadav on Saturday alleged that some people who are dreaming to become the national president of the RJD, have held former Bihar chief minister and RJD president Lalu Prasad hostage in Delhi. This, many believe, was a veiled attack on Lalu Yadav’s younger son and Tej Pratap’s brother Tejashwi Yadav.

“Months back my father Lalu Prasad was released from jail but he is not allowed to come to Patna. He has been kept as a hostage in Delhi. There are four to five people who are dreaming to become national president of the party,” said Tej Pratap Yadav.

Tej Pratap who is also MLA said that if the situation continues like this then party organisation will not grow, rather it will collapse.  

He is currently fighting a succession battle with his younger brother Tejashwi Yadav said this during a programme of Chhatra Janshakti Parishad, the outfit he floated last month to keep his politics floating as he has been sidelined within the party. This outfit is parallel to Chhatra RJD which is the students’ wing of the RJD.

Without naming his younger brother and Bihar RJD president Jagdanand Singh, he said that people know who the people are who have kept his father hostage. In August Tej Pratap had also a fight with Jagdanand Singh after the latter removed Akash Yadav as state president of youth wing of the party.

Convicted in fodder scam cases, Jharkhand High Court granted bail to Lalu Prasad in April this year on the health ground. A close aide of Lalu Prasad told OpIndia that Lalu Prasad is staying with his wife Rabri Devi and daughter Misa Bharti.

Tejashwi Yadav who virtually ran the party during absence of his father has emerged as the political heir of Lalu Prasad. The ailing Lalu Prasad has nearly distanced himself from political activities for various reasons. His term as national president of the RJD is also stated to end in November this year.

He is facing trial in yet another infamous fodder scam case RC 47 A/96 related to illegal withdrawal of worth Rs 139.35 crore from Doranda treasury of Ranchi in 1995-96.

In the context of the above the succession battle has intensified once again. “My father is not keeping well. I don’t want to put any pressure on him. He is suffering from various diseases. I asked my father to stay with me in Patna and see how the organization is running. There was a time when the gate of our house remained open for people and Lalu Prasad used to hold meetings. But, these four or five people made the provision of rope barricading so that people stay away from him,” Tej Pratap said.                 

Often referred as maverick and mercuric Tej Pratap always alleged that a negative perception was created against him and he was deliberately kept away from his father. “Some people are forcibly keeping Laluji away from me. They are also feeding wrong information about me,” he charged.

Tejashwi later on countered allegation of his elder brother stating that a man who remained chief minister of Bihar for such a long time can’t be kept as hostage.

Mentioning that Lalu Yadav even got L K Advani arrested (during the Rath Yatra during Ram Janmabhoomi movement), Tejashwi Yavad said ‘these things’ (holding him hostage) don’t match with his stature.

Kerala Bishop slams ‘Pseudo Secularists’ for suppressing voices that speak against social evils, had earlier warned about ‘love jihad’ and ‘narcotics jihad’

Kerala Bishop slams ‘Pseudo Secularists’ for suppressing voices that speak against social evils, had earlier warned about ‘love jihad’ and ‘narcotics jihad’

Bishop of the Pala diocese of Syro-Malabar Catholic Church in Kerala has slammed the ‘pseudo secularists’ in an article called ‘Don’t stay silent when there is a to speak out’ published in Deepika, the official mouth-piece of the church. According to a report by The Hindu, Bishop Mar Joseph Kallarangatt wrote against those people who ignore and try to shut down voices that expose social evils. “Those who insist that one should not talk about the evils that befall his own community, are silently encouraging such things to flourish. Instead of ignoring the warnings issued against such social evils, attempts should be made to discuss and study these issues to prevent their further occurrence,” he wrote.

While the Bishop stood by secularism as a core of India, he wanted to warn against pseudo-secularism which according to him ‘will destroy the country’. He said, “Secularism is at the core of our constitution. The religious community and the secular community must learn to live together. The essence of Indian secularism is the respect towards all religions.”

However, Bishop Mar Joseph Kallarangatt also expressed his concerns about how secularism could lead to extremism noting. He said, “from the growth of conservative racist movements in the West, we should learn how secularism gives birth to religious extremism. The situation of India too will not be different if we fail to accept Indian secularism in its true sense.” The Bishop also worried if Kerala would become communally polarised through secularism.

Earlier the Bishop of Pala, Mar Joseph Kallarangatt, had accused a section of the Muslims of carrying out Narcotics Jihad and Love Jihad against non-muslim boys and girls where they were trapped for exploitation and conversion. According to a report published in Kerala Kaumudi, the Bishop had been vocal about the targeting of young Christian by Islamist groups for conversion and exploitation.

During an event, Bishop Joseph Kallarangatt had said non-Muslim boys and girls are increasingly becoming the victims of Narcotics Jihad along with Love Jihad in the state. He went further and said that there are specific groups operational in Kerala that are targeting non-Muslim youngsters and even providing assistance to carry out targeted exploitation of non-Muslim youth. The video of the event where the Bishop made the statement was reportedly shared by the Kuravalingad Church.

While the Church council condemned Bishop Joseph’s statement citing Kerala Catholic Bishops Council (KCBC) disapproval, it is to be noted that even the KCBC spoke against the State and Union Government and criticized it for turning a blind eye to the issue, and not conducting a proper probe into the case of “missing women and children”.

The Media Commission of the Syro Malabar Church, the Synod of the Church made a press release stating, “the menacing rise of Love Jihad stands to imperil the communal harmony and peace in Kerala. It is a fact that Christian girls are being targeted by the love jihad in the state,”

Mahant Narendra Giri’s signature on the suicide note matches the signature in the bank records: Report

The signature found on the suicide note of Late Mahant Narendra Giri has been matched to the signatures in his bank records, reports say. Central Bureau of Investigation has sought the forensic report and fingerprint report on the suicide note. Mahant Giri was the President of Akhil Bharatiya Akhara Parishad and Mahant of Baghambari Gaddi in Prayagraj. He was found dead on September 20.

CBI wants to conduct a lie detector test

Reports suggest that the CBI has been preparing to conduct a lie detector test of accused Anand Giri. The agency will soon take the required permission from the court so that the test can be done. For the last few days, CBI has been investigating the call details of Narendra Giri and Anand Giri. They are questioning sewadars of Baghmbri Math and the saints who were close to late Mahant Narendra Giri and collecting information about those who were regular visitors of the Math.

The agency is checking all the bank transactions as a part of the investigations. Reports suggest that the agency got the information that Mahant owed money to so many people, and that angle is also being investigated.

Death of Mahant Narendra Giri

Mahant Narendra Giri’s body was found hanging to a noose in his room on September 20. An alleged suicide note was recovered from the scene where he had blamed Anand Giri, Aadhya Tiwari and Sandeep Tiwari for the suicide. They were arrested by the Police. Mahant Giri made Balbir the successor of Baghmbri Math in his note.

On Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the Uttar Pradesh Police constituted a Special Investigation Team to probe the case. It was later handed over to the CBI. During the investigation, it was found that the CCTV cameras installed around his room were switched off. A video was also recovered during Police investigation that was recorded by Mahant Giri before his death. The investigation report has been handed over to the CBI, and the investigation is underway.
