Dehradun: Woman who 'married' seer sits on dharna, claims his property being sold by akhada

HARIDWAR: Tejinder Kaur, who claimed to have married Swami Rasanand, a seer of the Agni akhada, sat on a dharna at Gandhi Park in Dehradun on Wednesday. She alleged that her late husband’s property was being sold by Swami Kailashanand Giri who is presently acharya mahamandaleshwar of Niranjani akhada and was earlier in Agni akhada.

She also alleged that the property belonged to Swami Rasanand who had married her and the couple has a son who is the "legitimate heir".

Three days ago, Kaur held a press conference in Haridwar and alleged that Swami Kailashnand Giri has no right and valid documents. With the help of local property dealers it is being sold away, she said.

Kaur told TOI, “The property is being sold after the death of Swami Rasanand. Despite several complaints the administration is not taking any action.”

Swami Kailashanand Giri's office is unavailable for comment. Giri had earlier denied all the allegations.
