Bhaiyyuji Maharaj’s trusted aide gets property rights

Indore :  Madhya Pradesh-based spiritual leader Bhaiyyuji Maharaj, who shot himself on Tuesday due to family tension, wanted his ‘sevadar’ Vinayak to look after his properties.

According to the second part of the suicide note of Bhaiyyuji Maharaj which surfaced on Wednesday, Vinayak, who had been his trusted aide for the last 15 years, has been given the property rights and not any of his family members.

Indore Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) Harinarayanchari Mishra said: “As per the suicide note, all property rights have been given to Vinayak. He (Bhaiyyuji Maharaj) has expressed maximum trust in Vinayak.”

According to informed sources, Vinayak accompanied Bhaiyyuji Maharaj like his shadow and would counsel the late spiritual leader on important issues. That is the reason he entrusted the task to take all decisions with regard to his properties to Vinayak.

Henceforth, all transactions concerning Bhaiyyuji Maharaj’s properties — worth about Rs 1,000 crore — would be executed only after Vinayak puts his signature.

Bhaiyyuji Maharaj, whose real name was Uday Rao Deshmukh, committed suicide by shooting himself at his residence. A suicide note mentioned that he took the extreme step due to “stress”.

According to information now coming to light, there were major differences between Bhaiyyuji Maharaj’s second wife Ayushi and daughter Kuhu from his first wife (now deceased) and this had caused tension between him and his wife. Kuhu has also blamed her stepmother for her father’s suicide.
