"The baba of the ashram shot 50-year-old Mukesh Shah and Arvind Yadav and fled. When the police reached the spot, they found that Mukesh Shah had died. Rajendra, who was covered in blood, was admitted to RIMS. The injured Rajendra recognized the attackers and told the police everything about them. After this, he also died during treatment," he added.
The DySP said that a team was formed on the instructions of DIG cum SSP Chandan Kumar Sinha. The formed team raided several places on the basis of Rajendra Yadav's statement and CCTV footage and caught the four suspected criminals, he added.
"The four arrested by the police confessed their crime. In their statement to the police, they told that they had entered the ashram and were looting. Mukesh and Rajindra were protesting. Due to their protest, they shot both of them and fled from there. Two more criminals involved in the incident have been identified. Soon both of them will also be arrested by the police," said Chaudhary.

Meanwhile, Hatia MLA Naveen Jaiswal raised the Chanho incident in the House on Friday through information and said, "Even sadhus and sanyasis are not safe in Jharkhand Speaker. Sadhus are murdered after entering the ashram. This murder has not been committed for loot Speaker. Rather the reason behind this is something else, because there is not much wealth in the ashram."
Jaiswal sought a reply from the Parliamentary Affairs Minister in this matter.
