Chamoli: Sadhus are generally considered to be of a calm nature. They remain engrossed in Bhagwad devotion away from worldly illusions, but you will also be shocked to hear what a monk did with his companion in Badrinath Dham.

Sadhu killed Sadhu in Badrinath

Here a monk living in Kali Kamli Dharamshala killed another monk by hitting him with a hammer. Later the accused monk himself reached the police station and surrendered. The whole matter is said to be related to the land dispute. On Tuesday afternoon, Sadhu Dutt, a resident of Chaitan, reached the Telangana police station and told the police that he had killed his partner. His body is kept in the room. The police were shocked to hear these words from the monk. When the police reached the spot, the blood-stained body of Sadhu Sunkara Ramdas alias Mohan Krishnanand was found in the room. The deceased was a resident of the Joshimath area. The police took the dead body into custody. Later, during interrogation, the accused Dutt Chaitan told about the reason behind the murder.

He told that he wanted to build an ashram in Mandal near Gopeshwar. For this, he had bought two drains of land. There was a dispute between the two regarding this land. On Monday night around 8.30 pm, when the sadhu asked about selling his share of land, Ramdas and him again had a fight. Meanwhile, in a fit of rage, Dutt Chaitan hit Baba Sunkara’s head with a hammer, which resulted in his death. The manager of Dharamshala, Puran Singh, has given a complaint to the Badrinath police station regarding the incident. He told that Dutt Chaitan and Sunkara Ramdas used to live side by side. Both used to joke a lot with each other. Both the sadhus were living in Badrinath Dham for the last several years. It is being told that after carrying out the murder, the accused monk had reached Alaknanda to bathe. Presently the accused is in police custody. The inspection of the matter is going on.
