'Humara Unse Koi Lena Dena Nahi Hai': Bageshwar Baba Reacts To Grievous Allegations On Brother Shaligram

Chhatarpur: Bageshwar Dham Peeth chief Dhirendra Krishna Shastri on Tuesday stated that he has no connection with his younger brother Shaligram Garg, who has been accused in a firing and assault case in Chhatarpur district, Madhya Pradesh.

Shaligram Garg is accused of attacking a farmer over a land dispute in Kauda village. Garg allegedly fired at Motilal Kushwaha, who sustained injuries in the incident.

‘I’ve No Connection With Him'

Reacting to the allegations against his brother, Bageshwar Baba said, “Shaligram ji ke baare me hum pehle hi keh chuke hai…humara unse koi lena dena nahi hai. (I have no connection with Shaligram ji.)”

The self-styled godman added, “Parivaar se humara koi lena dena nahi hai. Pura vishva huamra parivaar hai, pura samaj humara parivaar hai. (I have no connection with my family. The whole world is my family.)”

'Chhatarpur Me Kuch Na Kuch Hote Hi Rehta Hai'

“Chhatarpur zila aur humara parivaar bohot bada hai…toh kuch na kuch yaha hota rehta (Chhatarpur district is very big…something or the other keeps happening here)," Dhirendra Shastri stated, adding, “The law will take its course."

He further stated that an investigation should be held and should be awarded punishment by God and the Judiciary.

‘Shaligram Hit Me, Fired Shots’: Farmer

Farmer Motilal Kushwaha, with a visible head injury on his head, said, “Shaligram Garg, Ankit Mishra, and two or three others were there. They beat me up and opened fire. They fired three or four rounds from a pistol.”

“I was also hit on the ear. Shaligram Garg struck me here with a stick. He was trying to take over people's land—he had already seized a lot of village land. He hit me on the head with a stick here, and he also fired shots from a pistol. I saw him firing with my own eyes,” Kushwaha added.
