Thank God I Am Not Married: Bageshwar Baba Amid Meerut Murder Case Probe

New Delhi: Religious preacher Baba Bageshwar has blamed the gruesome murder of Merchant Navy officer Saurabh Rajput by his wife and her lover, Shahil, to poor upbringing. He suggested that families should encourage their children to study the Ramcharitmanas to cultivate moral character and advised the youth to read the text to instill good values.

Responding to media questions about the murder, Baba Bageshwar said, “The Meerut case is unfortunate. In the present society, the declining family system, the advent of Western culture and married men or women engaged in affairs are destroying families... This is a lack of values. If anyone's son or daughter is doing such acts, it means there is a lack of upbringing. Therefore, to build a cultured family, it is necessary for every Indian to take Shri Ramcharitmanas as a basis.”
