FAIZABAD: In the continuous series of brutal killings of Ayodhya mahants by their own disciples or by rival mahants in a war of succession of properties of temples, an elderly Mahant of Brahma Baba temple in Ayodhya, Laal Das (62) was found brutally murdered early Thursday morning. Faizabad SP R S Gautam said this murder is clearly linked with the fight to capture control of the temple by any of his disciples or some Sadhu.
In the last two years more than a dozen such incidents have taken place in which about six mahants and Sadhus were killed brutally. Police have worked out all the cases, concluding that unlimited wealth and properties of temple have compelled holy men to remain daggers drawn against each other, said S K Jain, former Intelligence officer.
