The Chief Medical Officer of the hospital said that Bhaiyyuji Maharaj, who was accorded the status of a state minister by the Shivraj Singh Chouhan government recently, was brought dead. He shot himself in the head.
A suicide note recovered from his house stated that Bhaiyyuji Maharaj was under mental stress. “Somebody should be there to handle duties of family. I am leaving too much stressed out. Fed up,” the suicide note written in English stated.
The 50-year-old spiritual leader allegedly shot himself at his home in Indore, police said. Bhaiyyu Maharaj, whose original name was Uday Singh Deshmukh, was one of the five ‘saints’ to whom the Shivraj Singh government in Madhya Pradesh had granted Minister of State (MoS) rank in April. However, he had refused to accept it, saying “a post holds no importance for a saint”.
