Mathura saints demanded a CBI inquiry following the suspicious death of ashram disciple Sharan Dulari Maharaj—also known as Deepak Lodhi—who fell from the fourth floor in Vrindavan on September 25, 2026, alongside other alleged irregularities and concerns regarding minor children living in the ashram.
