This came just hours after the seer's autopsy report revealed death by asphyxia due to hanging, lending weight to the suicide theory.

"On the instructions of UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath, a probe by the CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) has been recommended in the incident pertaining to the sad death of the chairman of Akhara Parishad Mahant Narendra Giri," the state Home department said in a tweet in Hindi.
