Apart from Anand Giri, Adya Prasad Tiwari and Sandeep Tiwari were also named in the chargesheet that was filed on Saturday.

All three had been named in the suicide note of the Mahant who accused them of mentally harassing him. Chief Judicial Magistrate, Harendra Nath took cognizance of the chargesheet, saying that sufficient ground for taking cognizance is available.
