A 25-year-old disciple named Deepak Lodhi allegedly fell from a rooftop, prompting investigations and questioning of residents.
AGRA: A fresh CCTV video showing the moments before the death of 25-year-old Deepak Lodhi alias Rasik Dulari Sharan, a disciple of Premanand Maharaj, has surfaced, raising questions about the circumstances in which he fell from the fourth floor of a building in Vrindavan’s Varah Ghat area. However, an attendant at the ashram’s enquiry counter confirmed some of the changes. The incident took place at Gau Kripa Kunj, where disciples of Premanand Maharaj reside. Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding his death and questioning other disciples staying at the building. CCTV footage is also being examined. The video has raised several questions about what happened before Rasik Dulari Sharan reached the rooftop, including reports circulating on social media about an alleged genital injury. Police have not yet established the circumstances leading to his death. Meanwhile, the incident has prompted significant changes in the arrangements at Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj Ashram in Vrindavan. The changes follow the controversy surrounding Athe disciple’s death and negative comments on social media. Information about the new arrangements was shared on the Braj Sant Mahima social media platform, although the post was not an official communication from the ashram. The number of devotees visiting the ashram has also declined since the incident.
The impact of the restrictions was visible on Wednesday, when disciples were seen visiting the ashram in ordinary coloured clothes instead of their usual yellow and white attire.
