Ahmedabad, 30 January 2014

Central Gujarat’s Dantali based popular saint and legendary travel writer Swami Shri Sachchidanand has been acquitted in year 2006 firing case by Anand court.

Swami Sachchidananda had allegedly shot at one unidentified person in year 2006 from his weapon in self protection when a group of robbers entered in his ashram in dark hours of night. Swami had fired three rounds from his weapon.The robbers fled away from Dantali ashram after firing.

Later it was claimed by others that one injured robber was Babu Mohania who died ultimately.

Swami was maintaining from day one that the case was a conspiracy against him, and Babu Mohania actually died due to diabetes in Ahmedabad hospital.

Speaking in a function held at Mahesana town of north Gujarat in year 2011, Swami Shri Sachchidanandaji had said that nobody was injured by his gun shot in July 2006 night. He said Babu Mohania died of diabetes in Ahmedabad hospital and his death had nothing to do with Dantali Ashram.

“I had kept my gun down while firing rounds that night to avoid injury to any of the outsiders who had attacked my Ashram. This man Babu Mohania died due to diabetes in Ahmedabad’s hospital. His death was deliberately connected to Ashram firing, by specific people targeting me. Actually nobody was injured when I fired from my gun,” Swamiji said.

It should be mentioned that attack by unidentified persons who were conceived as robbers in Swami’s Dantali ashram, had taken place few days after Swami Sachchidananda openly held a public meeting against Swadhyay Parivar’s present leadership. The public meeting was held after Swadhyay Parivar rebellion Pankaj Trivedi was murdered.
