Why his death is mysterious?

The family has raised questions over the suicide of Digambar Jain saint Vimad Sagar Maharaj in Indore. His Brother said:-

'He can never do that. Those who used to teach others to live in Satsang, why would they do this? It is being said that he hanged himself. It is not possible to he can hang himself. As a child, he had broken one hand when he fell from a bicycle. Because of this, the bone in his hand had increased. Since then the hand did not go above the head. Lift the chair with one hand and see. How to reach 12 ft. How can a man make a noose with one hand?

Is sugar a big disease? Piles is also not a disease. Take medicine, it will be fine. If there was trouble due to illness, then the saint will take samadhi, will not commit suicide.

This should be investigated. Those who are behind this conspiracy should be behind bars. His opponents are certainly behind the incident, who were afraid of his growing popularity.

Then the U turn

Later on his elder brother Santosh Jain has backed out of the demand for a probe. He has written a letter to Pardesipura TI. In this, he wrote – Due to his love for the younger brother, he came in a rage and demanded an investigation. Doubts and doubts were raised. I am Satisfied with the investigation of Indore Police. Nobody wants to investigate.

What could be the possible reasons for his suicide?

Pardeshipura TI Pankaj Dwivedi and FSL expert Dr. BL Mandloi told that the circumstances are indicating suicide. It is suspected that he went to the room with a nylon rope, climbed on the table kept there and hanged himself from the fan. There are also marks of hanging from the rope around the neck.
