Anand, Jan 6 (UNI) Well-known Swami Sacchidandji of Dantali ashram near here has once again come under judicial scrutiny.

On July 17, last year the Swami had shot and critically injured a man identified as Babu Mohaniya of Dahod district. The Swami had told the police that Babu and his men had come to his ashram at 0100 hrs and tried to kill him and loot the collections kept in 'dan peti'. He had then fired in self-defence.

Babu, who was first taken to Anand and then to Ahmedabad, died later when he reached his hometown Dahod. The relatives of Babu had cremated him without intimating the police. Later, his ashes were collected from the crematorium for analysis to establish his identity.

Today the deceased brother's son Danabhai Puniyabhai filed an application under CrPC 202 at the Judicial First Class magistrate of Petlad court stating that Swami had abused him before firing at Babu which he called as 'unusual'. He also pointed out that not one paise was robbed as the 'dan peti' was not even touched.

The complaint has named four others alongwith Swami as conspirators to the intrigue. They are Rajesh Jain, Laljibhai Mehta, Bhailabhai Patel, Babubhai Patel for conspiring and being accessory to the murder.

The court will now conduct further inquires on its own and has fixed the date at January 12.
