Hanuman temple’s chief priest Aadya Tiwari, who was arrested earlier on Tuesday in connection with this case, has also been sent to judicial custody.

Both Anand Giri and the chief priest will be lodged in the Naini Central Jail.

The police had earlier grilled Anand Giri for around 12 hours in connection with the case.

Anand Giri had earlier said it is a conspiracy against him.

“It’s a big conspiracy by the people, who used to extort money from Guru ji and wrote my name in the letter. It needs to be investigated as Guru ji hasn't written a letter in his life and couldn't do any suicide, his handwriting needs to be probed,” he told ANI.

“I have spent my entire life over there and never took any money. Everything was good between me and Guru ji and hence I request the government to investigate the matter thoroughly,” he added.

Mahant Narendra Giri was found dead in his room at the Baghambari Math in Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj on Monday evening.
