Asked about his parting of ways with the MUSS, Satpal Maharaj, who is also a Congress MP from Uttrakhand, said, "Unko nishkasit kiya gaia tha (He was sacked)," but did not dwell into the reasons.

The court asked the state government how the body of a person could be allowed to be kept in a freezer and that too for such a long period.

Both the petitioners had expressed apprehensions of property worth Rs 1,000 crore being allegedly misappropriated by the dera "managers".

The Punjab government on Friday clarified before the Punjab and Haryana high court that head of Divya Jyoti Jagriti Sansthan (DJJS) Ashutosh Ji Maharaj had died a natural death.
