Bulandshahr: In yet an another shocking incident, a man has murdered two sadhus at a temple in Uttar Pradesh’s Bulandshahr on Monday night, for accusing him of theft.
According to reports, the deceased have been identified as Jagandas,55, and Sevadas,35., were killed with a sword last evening at a small temple where they were staying temporarily. The accused Raju has been arrested and charged with murder.
People found the sadhus on Tuesday morning lying in a pool of blood when they reached the temple.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has taken cognizance of the incident and has ordered strict action against the culprit.
“The two babas lived here at the temple. One person named Murai alias Raju, who belongs to a scheduled caste, took away a ”chimta” (tongs) for which he was scolded and abused by the priests. After the murder, villagers were looking for him and spotted him drugged with bhang, with bare minimum clothes,” a senior police officer, Santosh Kumar Singh, told news agency ANI.
Further investigation is underway.
The incident comes days after two sadhus and their driver were thrashed to detah in Maharashtra’s Palghar, allegedly over rumours that they were involved in the kidnapping of children for organs.
