Rajasthan police say a fellow sadhu orchestrated the killing of Sant Triveni Giri Maharaj at Kabeshwar Mahadev temple in Sirohi, citing revenge motives linked to a disputed poster.
The Sirohi district police have disclosed that the murder of Sant Triveni Giri Maharaj, a revered spiritual leader at the Kabeshwar Mahadev temple complex, was pre‑planned by another sadhu. The investigation, which began after the saint’s death, uncovered evidence pointing to a conspiracy driven by personal vendetta.
According to the police report, the co‑accused sadhu allegedly harbored resentment over a controversial poster featuring the guru, which had sparked disagreement within the local monastic community. Investigators say the motive was revenge, and the plot was executed with the assistance of a small group of accomplices.
Authorities have arrested the primary suspect and are interrogating additional members believed to have facilitated the crime. The police emphasized that the case underscores the need for strict law enforcement even within religious circles, and they have pledged to pursue a thorough judicial process.
Sant Triveni Giri Maharaj was known for his teachings at the Kabeshwar Mahadev ashram, attracting devotees from across Rajasthan. The incident has shocked the local community, prompting calls for greater security at religious institutions.
The investigation remains ongoing, and officials have not ruled out the possibility of further arrests as they continue to piece together the full extent of the conspiracy.
