The investigation conducted so far into the alleged suicide by spiritual guru Bhaiyuji Maharaj has found that he was going through domestic discord but the police said it is probing the incident from various angles and would not draw any hasty conclusions.
The 50-year-old Maharaj, whose original name is Uday Singh Deshmukh, allegedly committed suicide by shooting himself at his house here on Tuesday, police said.
"Domestic discord has come to light during the initial investigation into Bhaiyuji Maharaj's suicide, but besides this, we are conducting a detailed probe from other angles also," Additional Director General of Police (ADG), Indore Range, Ajay Sharma told.
"We will not jump to any conclusion in a haste," he said.
Another official said the police has seized the CCTV footage, the revolver that Maharaj had allegedly used to shoot himself, his mobile phone and other gadgets from his house, located on the bypass road, where the incident took place.
Bhaiyuji Maharaj's first wife died after suffering a heart attack in 2015. He later married Dr Ayushi Sharma, a native of Shivpuri, in 2017. He has a daughter from his first wife.
Some people close to the saint at his ashram here claimed that his daughter from the first marriage and his second wife did not see eye-to-eye which resulted in unpleasant situations many a times.
The guru obviously remained tense because of this, they further claimed.
The spiritual guru's family members claimed that it was his own handwriting but the police will verify it by taking help of experts.
