Premanand Maharaj: The death of a disciple of Sant Premanand Maharaj in Vrindavan has raised many questions. Deepak Lodhi, known as Rasik Dulari Sharan, was 25 and had joined the spiritual fold around two years ago. He died after falling from the fourth floor of Guru Kripa Kunj Ashram on Friday morning.

What the CCTV Footage Shows
Footage reviewed by police shows Sharan leaving his room at about 10:25 am. He is seen outside for a while, then on the terrace, before the fall around 10:30 am. Based on the sequence, police are treating the case as a prima facie suicide. A video of the fall also surfaced on social media on Sunday. Readers are advised not to share it.
Why the Grinder Matters
Investigators recovered a grinder from his room, and reports say his clothes appeared to have blood stains. The postmortem reportedly cited excessive blood loss from an injury. Police have not confirmed how the injury happened. Circle Officer Sandeep Kumar Singh said the reason can be determined only after the investigation is complete.

Evidence Under Examination
Police have seized the CCTV equipment and sent his blood sample for forensic analysis. His mobile phone is also being examined by forensic experts. For now, investigators are relying on footage, the phone, blood samples and other evidence to piece together the sequence of events.
What Happens Next
Premanand Maharaj: The forensic and postmortem reports are expected to clarify the cause of the injury and the circumstances. Until then, no conclusion should be drawn about motive. Police have not named any suspect, and the ashram has not issued a detailed statement.
