Followers of spiritual guru Bhaiyyu Maharaj Monday sought a CBI inquiry into his death six months ago even as the Madhya Pradesh police maintained it was a case of suicide and ruled out any foul play.
Bhaiyyu Maharaj, whose original name was Uday Singh Deshmukh, had allegedly fatally shot himself with his licenced revolver at his residence here on June 12.
In the purported suicide note found at the spot, the 50-year-old spiritual leader had written that he was taking the step due to extreme stress in his personal life.
Addressing a press conference here, Shyam Deshmukh, one of his devotees, claimed Bhaiyyu Maharaj was killed.
"We feel that our guru was murdered. We want this case to be investigated by the CBI so that the truth can come out."
