State police have arrested Narendra Giri’s estranged protege, Anand Giri and two others in the case. Anand Giri is accused of pestering the religious leader, who later committed suicide. According to police, Anand Giri was referenced in a suicide note recovered beside his body. The state police had also created an 18-member SUT to investigate the event.
