Trigger warning: CCTV footage of the final moments of Rasik Dulari Sharan, a disciple of Premanand Maharaj, has surfaced. The roughly 30-second clip shows him resting on a surface before jumping from the fourth floor of an ashram in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh. Towards the end of the footage, another disciple could be seen casually walking in the frame. SSP Shlok Kumar has said investigators are awaiting forensic analysis of the deceased’s mobile phone and the blood toxicology report before ruling out foul play. The inquiry is also examining why he inflicted a severe injury on his private parts before the fall.
